At Mario Cucinella Architects the research activity on 3D printing technologies and their potential is crucial to always being at the forefront of innovative architectural practices. Our journey, which began with the innovative TECLA - Technology and Clay project, has now gained significant momentum, driven by a constant exploration of technological progress.

Our current focus involves a thorough exploration of various 3D printing technologies, aiming to understand their strengths and weaknesses fully. We are evaluating both onsite and offsite 3D printing methods, analyzing their respective advantages and disadvantages. This detailed comparison helps us choose the most suitable printing approach for each project, ensuring it is in line with our commitment to sustainability and our goal of leveraging these technological innovations in architecture. The objective is to refine and adapt our techniques to modern standards while revitalizing traditional materials, staying true to our philosophy of innovative and sustainable design.

Central to our research is the commitment to sustainability, a core principle of the Mario Cucinella Architects' philosophy. We are dedicated to developing projects that not only showcase cutting-edge design and technology but also adhere to the highest environmental standards. This commitment guides our exploration of ancient materials, reimagining them through the lens of 3D printing to create sustainable, and innovative architectural solutions.

In our R&D department, we blend tradition with innovation, crafting visionary yet environmental-friendly solutions. We are more than just architects; we are researchers shaping a sustainable future.
