When people think of 3D printing, they often think of plastic structures. But Virginia San Fratello, Chair of Design at San Jose State University, experiments in printing with materials like sand, clay, sawdust and even bonemeal to create haptic and comfortable structures made from local waste. Vanessa Costalonga, a PhD candidate at the CEA Lab at ETH Zurich, talks with her about how her multidisciplinary approaches fuse science and art in her teaching, her practice, and even to help coral reefs regenerate.

Student Special: Sustainability in Construction with Guillaume Habert
The current construction sector is not sustainable. The sector produces 30% of global waste and 40% of human-generated CO2 emissions. It consumes 40% of the resources and energy we use. There is a lot of potential for improvement.
Dr. Guillaume Habert is professor of the ETH Zurich Chair of Sustainable Construction. In this podcast, he talks with students Natalie Feakins and Noah Pasqualini about sustainability in the built environment and how life cycle analysis, green labels, and concepts such as a material diet can help transform the construction industry. They highlight how projects like the Kunsthalle exhibition, organized by the Chair of Circular Engineering for Architecture at ETH Zurich, can have an impact on circular construction.
