Due to their volume and materiality, ceiling systems and foundations are key components on the way to climate and resource-friendly building construction. Innovations in this area lead directly to a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and resource consumption. At the same time, they offer the potential for new regional diversity in the construction industry. The aim of this research approach is not only to develop material-saving and climate-friendly components. By using digital technologies, the systems are to be optimized multimodally and manufactured both robotically and additively using more sustainable mineral printing materials. The development is based on effective historical building systems with proven circular properties.

Saqib Aziz completed his architecture degree at the Berlin University of the Arts in 2016. Until the end of 2019, he worked at the architecture firm HENN in Berlin. He is currently working on his doctorate as a research assistant at the Department of Constructive Design and Structural Design (KET) at Berlin University of the Arts. His research focuses on multimodal design methods and additive and robotic manufacturing techniques using mineral material
