摘要

Established in New York City in 1994, Rietveld Architects LLP is known throughout the United States and Europe for its creative commercial and residential spaces. Its international team of architects embraces the latest technologies in such areas as energy savings and individual environmental controls. The firm's partners, Margaret and Rijk Rietveld, learned about 3D printing from a contact at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
