The structure features a modular system composed of nine individual concrete segments, each precisely 3D printed for easy disassembly and reassembly. Its post-tensioned design is held together by eight ungrouted steel cables, allowing for both structural efficiency and full demountability. The bridge adopts a funicular geometry, where load paths follow pure compression and tension, resulting in an optimized structural form derived from polyhedral graphic statics.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px;color: grey\">* This article is reprinted from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.voxelmatters.com\/mit-explores-living-3d-prints-in-to-grow-a-building-at-venice-biennale\/\" target=\"_blank\">3D Printing Media Network<\/a>.
