About
Andrea Klinge is a leading researcher in sustainable construction, with a focus on earthen materials and digital fabrication technologies. Her work bridges traditional building techniques with cutting-edge innovation, particularly exploring how digital production can revitalize contemporary earthen architecture. Her most-cited paper, "Ten questions concerning the potential of digital production and new technologies for contemporary earthen constructions" (2021, 64 citations), systematically addresses the technical, economic, and environmental barriers to scaling earthen building methods. Klinge’s contributions are pivotal in demonstrating how additive manufacturing and computational design can overcome the limitations of raw earth—such as structural integrity and moisture resistance—while preserving its low-carbon footprint. Her research has influenced both academic discourse and practical applications in circular construction, earning recognition for its interdisciplinary approach. By quantifying the potential of digital earthen systems, Klinge provides a roadmap for reducing the building sector’s reliance on energy-intensive materials like concrete. Her work is essential reading for students and professionals seeking to align architectural innovation with ecological responsibility.
