10/31/18
AMES, Iowa — Shelby Doyle and Nick Senske, Iowa State University assistant professors of architecture, are the recipients of the 2018 Architectural Research Centers Consortium (ARCC) Research Incentive Award for their project “Polycasting: multi-material 3D printed formwork for reinforced concrete.”
Doyle and Senske, together with lecturer Leslie Forehand, are co-founders of the ISU Department of Architecture’s Computation and Construction Lab. The $5,000 award will support their developing research to create water-soluble and biodegradable concrete formworks through additive manufacturing (3D printing), a technology not in common construction use today.
The ARCC Research Incentive Award supports and promotes high-quality architectural research and scholarship activities in ARCC-member schools. The program provides faculty in member schools with the resources needed to support and enhance their research and creative activities and to develop their research agendas.
