About
Nikoletta Christidi is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of computational design, digital fabrication, and sustainable construction. Her key research areas include robotic additive manufacturing, knitted formwork systems, and the development of material-efficient concrete structures. Christidi’s most notable contribution is the groundbreaking "Robotic knitcrete" project, which introduced a novel method for fabricating complex concrete shell structures using robotic shotcrete applied onto 3D-knitted formwork. This work, published in 2023 and already garnering 17 citations, directly addresses the traditional construction industry’s challenges of excessive formwork waste and labor intensity by enabling design-informed, lightweight, and geometrically complex concrete elements. Her research demonstrates a significant leap in integrating textile technology with robotic fabrication, offering a scalable path toward more sustainable and architecturally expressive building components. Christidi’s achievements highlight her role in advancing additive manufacturing for construction, making her work essential reading for researchers and students interested in digital fabrication, computational design, and eco-friendly building technologies.
