Focus

​

Benefing from exceptional infrastructures and technologies at the forefront of digital design to fabrication for architecture and construction, the programme provides expertise in the application of the latest digital technologies for design, simulation and fabrication of digital architecture and construction. The focus is on computational design, robotic fabrication and 3D printing, and novel topics in architecture.  Projects and assignments enable students to develop strong design concepts and realize large-scale prototypes using the unique robotic and 3D printing facilities at ETH Zurich, the curriculum offers training on wide-ranging practical and theoretical topics.
