Martin Bechtold

Kumagai Professor of Architectural Technology, GSD

Martin’s research, related publications, and teaching focus on innovative material systems, structural design, and robotic fabrication. Recent projects have developed structural applications for architectural ceramics and have advanced multi-material 3D printing technology. Martin’s research broadly looks at material and fabrication technology as a catalyst of innovation for design practice. In 2010, he founded the GSD’s Design Robotics Group, which merged it into the Material Processes and Systems (MaP+S) Group.
