Material articulation: Toward an ornamental thinking in digital tectonics Materiability Research Group, Anhalt University of Applied Sciences, Dessau, Germany This research explores ornament as a form of material intelligence in large-scale additive manufacturing. Through the evolution of two design case studies, this paper investigates how micro-scale design articulation evolves from surface tectonics to the traces of the machine’s toolpath and material behaviour. One reveals itself as an organic, agent-based, data-informed modulation. The other integrates a woven toolpath strategy that transforms 3D printing into a spatial composition. Considering ornament not only as an aesthetic element but as a manifestation of process creates a dialogue between matter, performance, and application. With the help of computational design and data, this intervention expands the discussion of digital craftsmanship across multiple scales of design. View Paper: https://doi.org/10.21606/drs.2026.2363
