Research

The research originates within the discipline of architecture and investigates tools, processes, and systems capable of extending the relationship between design, matter, construction, and judgment.

ARCKEO LAB.png

Arckeo LAB is Arckeo’s research laboratory.

Since 2009, it has developed experimental research at the intersection of architecture, adaptive systems, advanced fabrication, and artificial intelligence.

Research on auxetic structures and large-scale 3D printing, applied to construction systems and prefabricated modules.
From prototyping to project use, with attention to performance, material and replicability.

Experimental technologies

Recent works

Every project begins with a workshop: objectives, constraints, and choices become a clear path to completion. Here's a selection of works at various scales.
