Three-dimensional printing has proven useful at model scale, but what about at building scale? Brian Peters, an assistant professor at Kent State University and the founder of DesignLabWorkshop, in Kent, Ohio, is tackling full-scale printing one clay brick at a time with a desktop 3D printer. Building Bytes is a project that goes beyond using new tools to make old products. Instead, it follows the additive logic of the printing path-rather than the conventional molding or extrusion process-to make bricks that are otherwise impractical or impossible to make.
