About
Patrick Bedarf is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of digital fabrication, sustainable construction, and advanced materials. His work centers on developing robotic 3D printing processes for mineral foams and concrete, with a focus on creating lightweight, resource-efficient building components. Bedarf’s major contributions include the "Concrete Choreography" project (23 citations), which introduced a novel 3D Concrete Printing workflow for prefabricating geometrically complex columns, and his groundbreaking research on foam 3D printing for lightweight composite slabs (19 citations) and facade panels (6 citations). He has advanced the use of cement-free geopolymer foams (11 citations) and stay-in-place formwork strategies (14 citations), significantly reducing material consumption and dead weight in concrete structures. His "Foamwork" project (8 citations) demonstrates a complete design-to-fabrication workflow for non-standardized, resource-efficient building elements. With over 80 total citations across his most-cited works, Bedarf’s research is shaping the future of sustainable construction by merging computational design, robotic fabrication, and material innovation. His achievements highlight a commitment to reducing the environmental footprint of the building industry through intelligent, digitally fabricated solutions.
