#Design Lab Workshop merges 3d printing with solar energy for glowing architecture As more architects look into ways of using additive manufacturing as a way of constructing their buildings,
what possible with 3d printing and architecture are Design Lab Workshop Brian Peters and Daphne Firos.
The design duo, who both share a background in architecture, have been busy creating various ways of integrating additive manufacturing into the build process for a variety of structures.
the design team has been focusing on an experimental structure that highlights the potential of architecture including new fabrication techniques (3d printing),
Each of the 94 modules were 3d printed using a 6-axis robot arm in the Robotic Fabrication Lab at the nearby College of Architecture and Environmental design at Kent State university in Ohio, USA.

The top layer of silver film is 25 nanometers thick and is punctured with tiny holes created by a microfabrication process known as focused ion beam milling.
The bottom layer of silver is four times thicker than the top layer but still minuscule at 100 nanometers.
Between the top and bottom films lies a 45-nanometer silica dielectric spacer. The researchers created a scaled-down template of the athletic logo and drilled out tiny perforations on the top layer of the metamaterial structure.
