About
Evelien Dorresteijn is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of sustainable construction and advanced robotics. Her work centers on robotic rammed earth processes, a novel additive manufacturing technology that merges traditional, low-impact rammed earth with modern automation. Her major contribution lies in developing the Robotic Rammed Earth-Concrete (RREC) system, which integrates rammed concrete parts to structurally strengthen rammed earth buildings without sacrificing their environmental benefits. This innovation addresses a critical weakness of traditional rammed earth—its limited structural capacity—while preserving its recyclability and positive indoor climate effects. Her 2024 paper on compaction energy for robotic rammed earth has already garnered 13 citations, reflecting the field’s urgent interest in scalable, eco-friendly construction. Dorresteijn’s work is notable for bridging ancient building wisdom with Industry 4.0 technologies, offering a viable path toward carbon-neutral architecture. Her research is essential reading for students and professionals exploring sustainable construction, digital fabrication, and the future of low-impact building materials.
