Talking Additive

Guests from KPF reveal how 3D printing enhances design iteration and streamlines the architectural design process.

Show Notes

Asli Oney is Digital Fabrication Manager at Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF)’s New York office. This multinational architectural firm has worked on buildings shaping the cityscapes of many of the world's greatest cities and has been on a twenty-year journey to explore ways to implement 3D printing to support its design processes. 
  
This week, Asli explains how the KPF has standardized on approaches to 3D printing to allow designers and architects to create multiple iterations of design concepts within the KPF design studio. These low-cost models enable better communication of ideas to clients and shareholders. They also promote a more experimental, exciting approach to architectural design, with 3D printed parts usually costing a few dollars or less. She is joined by three of her colleagues -- CIO and principal James Brogan, applied research director Cobus Bothma, and master modelmaker Ross Page -- who contribute additional perspectives.
