Necessary change
The construction industry of the future will need to depend on sustainable materials and processes. We
believe that earth could provide a viable range of cheaper and available local materials while associated
with computer aided machines that would allow easier labour and innovative forms.
The aim of the Mud & Digital Lab is to renew earth construction processes and opening up a diversity of
sustainable techniques applied to general construction.
This includes creating a diversity of formwork's at a very high pace to revisit the wattle and daub
techniques, and challenge new earthen geometries such as thin shells by casting methods.
In addition, were using CNC machines to pour earth layer per layer with the goal to 3d print earth at the
scales of furniture and house.
In Lyon well be fabricating real scale prototypes.
In Indonesia well use local earth, local knowledge and transportable digital prototyping machines in
remote areas. Well design and build high end furniture and small architectures that will become
permanent features in the resort.

Introduction
The AA Mud & Digital Lab investigates since 2012 the potential of using Computer Aided Machines for the renewal of Earth
Construction.
The potential of this work is to open up a diversity of sustainable techniques applied to general construction.
It also has a social aim as the cost of material is reduced to a minimum.
We invite any Architecture or engineering student or professional, Researcher or environmental specialist to join us in order to work
together ahead of our times in this necessary new international field.
The Lab is structured over 2 intensive real scale prototypes construction 2 weeks long workshops in France and in Indonesia.
In addition we organize a series of talks during the year around this new subject.

The Visiting School workshop in Lyon France happens at the Grands Ateliers de lIsle dAbeau where all the materials and machines are
available for large constructions experimentation.
Were exploring two main families of structures: 3d printing and Moulding
-3D Printing Earth (No Formwork)
Were using Kuka robots, CNC machines, and house made robots to 3d print earth.

Agenda
During Chocolate and Other Powders 2015, participants will embark on a journey to design and built
some real scale Earthen Parametric structures for a remote island and its resort in Indonesia using the
past years specific processes developed during the AA Mud and Digital Lab.
For the 3rd edition of our Mud & Digital AA Visiting School, We will keep on cutting our way through the
pathless woods and work together as an experimental lab, to define new structures that never were
before.
Well continue our quest for the Holy Grail to lead on using the CNC machine as a giant 3D printer for
earth.
Using fabric as a formwork to establish thin earthen shells of different geometries and morphologies
has reached new paradigms for us.
Well maintain the intensity and develop this field.
Finally, using earth to fabricate prefabs is a domain that has been rarely investigated.
Were proud of continuing the 1m earthen tiles weve started last year to reach manufacturing
perfection and patents potential.
We will build up on last years Workshop ---Synchronized Movements 2013+ Mud Body and Scripts
2014---knowledge and processes renewing Wattle and Daub and putting in place new methods.
Thin Earth shell,
Double curvature Earthen Tiles,
3D printing Earth
Here are the themes we will focus on this year and building up on the knowledge gained during our
previous Workshops:
FormWorks
Thin Earthen Shells
Exploring different morphologies
Producing the formwork's at faster pace and with more diversity using new computer aided machines such as
Kuka Robots
No FormWork
Giant 3D printing
We will keep on exploring the use of the CNC to be used as a 3D giant Printer for Earth
Agenda
For the 3rd edition of our Mud & Digital AA Visiting School, We will keep on cutting our way through the pathless woods and work
together as an experimental lab, to define new structures that never were before.
We will embark on Experiments using our body,
letting our inner child go free and get dirty,
and our natural tendency
to enjoy touching the material when it is paste, when it is powder, when it is sprayed, when it is stretched.
Well define new verbs together.
Well continue our quest for the Holy Grail to lead on using the CNC machine as a giant 3 D printer for earth.
We will use Elvis the small robot to pour and spray mixes of earth, fibres, sand, olive oil, washing liquid.
Well define new ingredients to improve the taste of our recipe together.
Using fabric as a formwork to establish thin earthen shells of different geometries and
morphologies has reached new paradigms for us.
Well maintain the intensity and develop this field.
Finally, using earth to fabricate prefabs is a domain that has been rarely investigated.
Were proud of continuing the 1m earthen tiles weve started last year to reach manufacturing perfection and patents potential.
Our energy will be deployed to re-invent new social realities, and to explore new alternatives in Emergen(t)cy sustainable housing.

Agenda
During Inner Paradise 2016, participants will embark on a journey to design and built some real scale
Earthen Parametric structures for a remote island and its resort in Indonesia using the past years
specific processes developed during the AA Mud and Digital Lab.
This new location of our Mud and Digital Lab about Applying digital technologies to earth construction
will challenge the use of local natural materials found on site for the fabrication of permanent structures
in the Telunas resort in collaboration with local artists.
Thousand different gradients of gold and sand, luxurious tropics along some tidal sea and a very
strong local Indonesian community.
Thousand different gradients of gold and sand; Thousands hermits finding all kind of shells to build up
their mini architectures.
Taking advantage on the very local richness.
The culture before anything else.
We'll work with local craftsmen to reach new strategies in marrying mud techniques and digital
technologies.
Stressing the very traditional with the very contemporary, defining new realities.
Well bring our transportable digital fabrication equipment on this remote island -although only 3 hours
from Singapore for those who know how to navigate its waters on the long wooden boats- Well
fabricate screens, walls, roofs, pergolas and other types of furniture for the Telunas resort. This unusual
client will choose from our built work, pieces and fragments of architecture that will remain in the hotel
permanently.
With key parametric specialists from SUTD and FCL and the constant influence from CRATerre for
earth architecture knowledge we will start writing a new chapter in the history of using transportable
machines synchronized with local materials to create new matters and new structures.
The focus will be mostly on sustainable and innovative furniture and small earth and fibres architectures
with the aim of becoming permanent in the resort.
Aims
Indonesia has a very strong earth architecture culture.
We will take advantage on the traditional methods to reinterpret them through the use of
transportable digital prototyping manufacturing.
Theres also a very interesting culture on bamboos structures in Indonesia.
We will revisit some of these techniques to apply earth on them and challenge their
geometry.
The aim of Inner Paradise will be to test on site the techniques explored during AA VS Lyon,
earthen think shells, 3d printed earth technologies.
During AA Riau Island 2016 Inner Paradise, we will work closely with Mike Shubert: the
owner of the tropical resort to fabricate furniture and small architectures that will remain in
the hotel. We will also work with Paul, local Indonesian artist in residence in Telunas to
enhance the dialogue between Indonesian identity and the processes were developing.
