With supply chain issues and rising price of construction materials, mycelium can potentially provide reliable, eco-friendly and sustainable alternatives to traditional construction materials as substrates used for growing mycelium can contain almost any recycled cellulose: sawdust, used coffee grounds or paper. Characteristics of the final product are determined by substrate, mushroom species, the time of growth and further treatment of mycelium (e.g. high pressure forming). In this paper we describe semestral work of both students and tutors of an Experimental studio, focused on additive manufacturing together with rather novel sustainable materials. Students’ semestral task was to find use cases for mycelium as a building element. As a part of the assessment they were tasked to come up with use cases, designs, manufacturing methods and finally build a mock-up model in 1:5 scale. Students intuitively started with the combination of digital modelling plus digital fabrication. In the end they finished with manufacturing the physical model traditionally, where they had to react to the change of the visual outcome of the model. Firstly, we present the students’ solution for the mycelium material used in their model, next, we describe our observation of the whole process of letting students go through “learning by doing” research, Finally, we present lessons learned in this experiment.

Prvok is the first 3D printed concrete floating house in the Czech republic. Additive manufacturing - 3D printing became a synonym of sustainable building of the 21st century. Its experimental manner and lack of world's standardisation ISO approvals hold the 3D printing concrete method on the edge of usability and applicability and stop a broader spread of application in practice. Furthermore, the used material was newly developed cement composite prefabricated mixture mady by Master Builder Solutions with polypropylene plastic micro-fibres, which was not previously tested in large structures. What we achieved, was a practical realisation of a 3D printed fully equipped and functioning concrete house as a habitable statue for a public event. In order to fulfil the request on insulation and avoiding heat bridges together with investing least material possible, we parametrically designed and implemented a wall system of construction. In order to be able to open the structure to the public, we tested it on the universal loading machines at the Faculty of civil engineering CTU Prague in scale 1:1. Testing fragments of the walls were also part of the research goals, which led us to the final design. In this paper, we present the results of the experiment together with the experimentally obtained data.

In this experimental research project we report on the manufacturing process of the first full-size 3D printed concrete structure in our country. The house was 3D printed by an ABB IRB 6700 robot whose range we made fit with the requirements for transportation size and also, its range determined the size and geometry of the house. During the transformation process from sketch to code we involved students to apply computational design methods. We designed the main load bearing structure which had to be thinnest and lightest possible together with its insulation features and printability. We were aware of the world-wide research in this field started by NASA centennial Challenge called 3D-printed-habitat [Roman,2020] as well as start-ups derived from this research [1,2,3,4]. During the project, we investigated the following matters: (1) the relationship between geometry of the wall in model and in practice (2), setting of the robot and the mixture; and (3) stress test of the wall. With the results of the test we aimed at contribution to standardisation of 3D printed structures in ISO/ASTM 52939:2021. The finalized structure, named "Prvok", was made to prove printability of the mixture and stability of the design.

One of the attitudes to recycling plastic in architectural design is it re-printing. 3D Printing of recycled polyethylene tereftalate is in its birth-days. Recycled filament can be bought in Argentina or Netherlands but lack of experience with this reborn material blocks its use in the Czech Republic. Firstly we made a study of settings of the home-3D-printers for this material. Secondly we came with a crowd printing project, which tested the possibility to print structural pieces by on various low-cost printers.

Consumer goods PET (polyethylene terephthalate) bottles are usually thrown away after consumption. A huge number of them ends up somewhere in the environment. In many developing countries PET bottles are used in construction, mainly as fill-in material in concrete or adobe walls. Special purpose PET bottles have been designed and produced earlier that can be stacked in wall systems. In our research we produced a special PET bottle that fulfils the following conditions: (a) produced with blow-moulding technology; (b) good stacking features to eliminate or minimize binding medium between PET bottles; and (c) produced out of recycled PET. This special PET bottle resulted in a series produced and patented brick called PET(b)rick 1.0. We subjected the PET(b)ricks to various tests as done on regular building bricks: stress, pressure, and heat-freeze. PET(b)rick has reasonable resistance to stress greatly dependent on the filling medium, low resistance to pressure, and a small bandwidth of performance in heat-freeze. We have demonstrated stable and safe application of PET(b)ricks in small seating objects. PET(b)rick does not seem suitable as a self-standing wall, but can function as easily stackable fill-in material within a load-bearing structure.

This paper speaks about ambience in architecture in the flow and results of experimental design studio Achten/Novakova in Summer semester 2016 that cooperated with PET-MAT, a research team focusing on recycled plastic in architecture. This time, also questions of management of a big student group arose. Fifteen teams (50 participants) of the studio designed, presented and delivered ambient installations to the public event called Student Night. It was a small temporary architecture: bars, stage decoration, corridor decorations and furniture like tables or chairs all made of plastic. Particularly, results of research on recycled PET in architecture were implemented here in form of a new plastic brick called PET(b)rick. The Installations were directly tested by visitors of that event and have proven the concept of PET(b)rick.
