3D concrete printing creates a new spacial freedom, but the technology also comes with a lot of structural limitations. A flat wall is now a very difficult element to fabricate. Because of these structural limitations, most 3D companies introduce expressive topologies in their 3D printing geometry. Differential growth is a pattern that appears in nature and can be simulated with physics engines like Grasshopper Kangaroo. Different patterns will appear with small adjustments of a random variable. Differential growth is an pattern that is visible in coral. It appears when there is a tension in a curve or surface that is increasing over time.
