Presented in Venice during the 2021 Architecture Biennale, Striatus is the first-of-its-kind 3D Concrete Printed bridge. Designed by Block Research Group and Zaha Hadid Architects in collaboration with incremental3D, it is made possible by Holcim's custom-made TectorPrint ink. Striatus establishes a new language for concrete that is digital, environmentally advanced and circular by design. The footbridge holds together solely through compression, with no reinforcements, applying computational design and 3D printing, for minimal material use and maximum strength.
