About

Matthias Leschok is an innovative researcher at the intersection of digital fabrication, sustainable architecture, and building envelope performance. His work focuses primarily on harnessing polymer 3D printing (3DP) and additive manufacturing (AM) to develop next-generation facade systems that address the urgent challenge of decarbonising the built environment. Leschok's most significant contributions lie in demonstrating how 3D-printed thermoplastic components can simultaneously achieve thermal efficiency, optimised daylight distribution, and reduced lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions — capabilities difficult to attain with conventional construction methods. His 2023 study on the thermal performance of 3DP polymers for facade applications (12 citations) and his parametric design framework for solar-responsive facades (11 citations, 2021) together establish a compelling case for mono-material, bespoke building components fabricated through robotic and additive processes. His complementary investigation into light distribution in 3D-printed thermoplastics further refines understanding of how geometry influences daylight transmission and occupant comfort. With growing citation impact across a focused body of work, Leschok is carving out a distinctive niche in computational design and sustainable fabrication, offering researchers and practitioners a rigorous, experimentally grounded pathway toward low-carbon, high-performance building facades.
