Designed and managed by the A/S team, 3for2@UWCSEA
is a 600 m2 office space which hosts the administrative staff of
UWCSEA. It is one of the first commercial-scale applications of
passive chilled beams and displacement ventilation for
offices in the tropics. It is set to become Singapore’s most
energy-efficient office by 2018.
New construction: 2015

What about reinforcement?Do not bother us with that question …Traditional• Place after and infill• Consider printed material as a lost formwork• Limited (probably insufficient) amounts of steel
Fiber reinforcement• Limited interconnection between layers• Gets worse at high speeds that avoid cold joints
Mats• Place ad hoc during production• Efficiency ???

33Physical Chemistry of Building MaterialsETH Zurich
Operating windowThere is an upper and a lower bound for the production rate• Too low rates give cold joints• Too high rates collapse under their own weight
Important factors are• Thixotropic build up• Contour length• Layer height• Linear rate
Contour length is a crucial factor when discussing whether or not cold joints form

ConclusionsThink different – Build different !
Despite the norms, but not despite safety, economy or ecology
Doing the exact same thing digitally, will rarely pay off
Added value, functionality or integration will pay off
New horizon for design tools informed by new construction methods
