He is thought leader in the field of digital architecture, with 15 years of experience in scaling cutting-edge architecture firm DUS prior to founding digital construction firm Aectual: The global go-to platform for customizable architectural products.

With its proprietary software tools and XL robotic 3D printers Aectual enables designers and builders to create tailor-made architecture on a mass scale in a sustainable way using bio-based and recycled materials. Current users & partners include: Nike, Schiphol Airport, BMW, ABB, Henkel.

Story Summary:

As architectural graduates, Hans Vermeulen, Hedwig Heinsman and Martine de Wit started their practice with an idea to bring architecture to the masses by digitizing the processes between developers and inhabitants. To further this goal, they built their own large 3D printer. Understanding that buildings consist of products, they decided to digitally print products and refine a designer-to-maker digital process under a separate business entity called Aectual.

Today, Aectual is offering a growing number of high-resolution digitally printed architectural products from floor surfaces to wall panels, which can be customized for individual projects. Learn more about their experience transitioning into product and process design, identifying valuable marketplaces for growth, new opportunities for innovative and sustainable materials, and growing their businesses through lessons of industry, perseverance and partnership in this interview with the architect-founders.

Simon Becker and Andreas Rauch are the Designers and Architects of the Cabin One Minimal House as a modular, high-quality serial product to create the future of living.

The minimalist cabin combines highest living quality, nice views and comfort on a small floor plan. The revolutionary minimal house breaks with the conventions of the building industry, which only knows one key figure: square meters

2009 he started his academic work at the TU Munich with which he aims to develop architectural solutions that reduce building technology and simplify the construction processes through digital tools.

In conjunction with his teaching activities with visiting professor Jacob van Rijs, Stefan Behnisch and Charles Walker amongst others, he started his doctorate and directs the area of research „3D Printed Building Envelope“, which examines the potential of additive manufacturing in architecture. He initiated the TUM Group „Additive Manufacturing in Construction“ (AMC) and is a regular speaker at universities, companies and conferences.

Moritz Mungenast worked after his architectural studies, which he completed at the TU Kaiserslautern, EPFL Lausanne, UPC Barcelona and TU Munich, from 2003-11 as an architect at Shigeru Ban Architects Paris and Auer + Weber Munich.

With a keen interest in large scale additive manufacturing, modelling for digital fabrication and parametric design, he works towards closing the „Digital Chain“ from design to fabrication.

2018 he finished his studies in architecture with a focus on Integrated Building Technologies at the Laval University Quebec and TU Munich.

Luc Morroni worked as parametric design freelancer as well as workshop instructor and gained experience in architecture at HENN, Steinmetzdemeyer and 2001 architecture.
