About
Christian Thiago Peterhans is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of digital fabrication, advanced materials, and architectural design. His work centers on developing novel robotic fabrication processes for glass, with a particular focus on polychromatic float glass—a material traditionally constrained by labor-intensive methods or reliance on secondary films. In his landmark 2022 study, Peterhans demonstrated how robotic fabrication can overcome these limitations, enabling the direct, precise application of color onto architectural glass surfaces. This breakthrough not only expands the aesthetic and functional possibilities of glass in building envelopes but also introduces a scalable, automated approach to a historically manual craft. While his citation count is still growing, the work has already garnered attention for its technical rigor and practical implications in sustainable, high-performance architecture. Peterhans’ research sits at the nexus of computation, material science, and construction, offering a compelling vision for how digital tools can transform traditional building materials into responsive, expressive architectural elements.
