Abstract

Meristem Wall is a prototype for a 3D-printed building envelope, featuring a dynamically controllable network of integrated air channels that allow a fl uid and adaptive relationship between inside and outside. The wall integrates functional lighting and electricity, windows, and a custom CNC-knitted textile interior. It is fabricated through binder-jet sand 3D printing and points towards a climatically performative architecture inclusive of nonhuman life in urban contexts.
