Material Disruption | Self healing behaviours in robotic 3D printing
Mary Spyropoulos & Dr Joshua Lye
8–25 May

This exhibition explores the transformative potential of self-healing materials in robotic 3D printing, focusing on innovative aesthetics and design applications. Participants will delve into cutting-edge research, discovering how materials can form self-healing behaviours. This initiative aims to inspire and challenge designers to rethink material behavior, not just as material for fabricating digital models, but for its aesthetic and design sensibilities in architectural expressions. Culminating in a series of large-scale prototype objects, the exhibition will showcase how innovative material behaviour can lead to more adaptive, resilient, and visually compelling architectural forms, aligning with sustainable and forward-thinking design principles.
