The DFL invites visitors to the upcoming Concreta 2019 Fair to experience some of the most advanced Design and Construction technologies related to the new Industry 4.0 paradigm, which have been shaping the present and future of architecture. In the space called “Architecture 4.0”, the DFL presents its vision and practical developments in innovative areas such as digital fabrication, robotic construction, 3D printing or virtual reality, through demos, prototypes and video projections.

The Digital Fabrication Laboratory (DFL) is the research group of the Center for Architecture and Urbanism Studies (CEAU) of the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Porto (FAUP). With a multidisciplinary team and a strong connection to the professional and industrial realms, the DFL has developed a set of works that have been published and produced around the world.
