Smart 3D-printed façades: a review of innovations, materials, and sustainable performance

3D-printed façades no longer merely wrap buildings; they enable them to think, breathe, and adapt. They combine free-form design, intelligent sensors, and sustainable materials to create architecture that evolves with the climate, the environment, and its inhabitants.
