NEST unit HiLo: "High Performance - Low Emissions" - Statement Philippe Block

Philippe Block, Professor of Architecture and Structure at ETH Zurich, talks about the integrated design and fabrication of sustainable concrete construction.
The NEST unit HiLo demonstrates how attractive architecture can be when combining energy- and resource-saving construction and operation. The unit brings together innovative planning and design methods for efficient structures in concrete with self-learning and adaptive building technologies. The integrated design and fabrication approach used to build the two-story unit marks a starting point for the way we may design and build in the future.

Have you modelled Waller ctesiphon arches, and was he correct, that in the future builders could use thinner Shells than he built with!
