Archibiofoam Project

ARCHIBIOFOAM project is a EU funded project as a collaboration between Aalto University, University of Stuttgart, University of Milan and Woamy Oy.
It aims to develop single-material, multifunctional systems for architecture by creating biofoams that can change shape and bear loads using robotic 3D printing. By integrating biobased materials, computational design, and advanced fabrication, the project will produce biofoams with customizable properties that respond to environmental stimuli like temperature and humidity. These biofoams will serve both structural and adaptive functions at architectural scales, eliminating the need for layered materials and reducing carbon emissions. The project promotes sustainable construction by using recyclable, compostable materials to replace traditional, energy-intensive building methods.
