ANTI-RUIN is a multi-phased, open-ended assembly project designed and led by OZRUH @ozruh_official, fabricated in 3D-printed stone by Dr. Pietro Odaglia (@pietro.odaglia) at ETH Zurich’s Digital Building Technologies (@digitalbuildingtechnologies), and engineered by formDP (@form_dp).
It is made from discarded marble dust — a volume of waste nearly equal to the volume of extracted material and it is using a novel application of binder jetting technology.
The structure pushes the limits of traditional tectonics as it is hollow, lightweight, reconfigurable and endlessly recyclable. The stone blocks configuration is ensuring stability by finding the golden section between centre of mass, overturning moments and aesthetics. The final configuration is post-tensioned to ensure the structural integrity of the cantilevering roof beam.
It can be seen at the Main Exhibition, at the 1st floor of the Arsenale at the whole duration of the Architecture Venice Biennale 2025.
