Educational objectives
The additive manufacturing (AM) of cementitious materials, particularly through the technique of 3D Concrete Printing (3DCP), is rapidly expanding in the construction industry with relevant developments in the material and production technologies as well as in the advanced design of high TRL projects. In order to match the design intent with 3DCP manufacturing capabilities, several aspects must be taken into account, such as control of the material at the fresh state, structural analysis including reinforcement, robustness and integration on a large scale of the applications.
At present, there is a strong need to build robust academic knowledge in researchers who are involved in the digital design-to-fabrication process of novel 3D printed structures. In fact, the growth of technological and engineering expertise on 3DCP can potentially improve the awareness in the construction field, thus maximizing the socio-economic- environmental impact associated to its effective implementation.
The main goal of the Summer School is to offer the most advanced technical background – analytical, numerical and practical – on structures and infrastructures achievable by using 3DCP.

The Venue
The summer school will be held in Villa Orlandi in Anacapri, a small village located in the island of Capri, in the Metropolitan City of Naples, Italy. Anacapri is widely known for its picturesque, rural tranquility, broad views of the Bay of Naples, and significant historic sites, including Villa San Michele. Villa Orlandi is an architectural building in which themes and models of the traditional Capri house converge. Its original structure dates back to the first decades of the eighteenth century, when the new church of San Michele was built in the nearby Carmenlitane convent complex. Nowadays, the structure belongs to the Congress Center of the University of Naples Federico II.
Suggested accomodations
The list includes suggested accommodations in Anacapri. Do not forget to mention the “Summer School of University of Naples Federico II” in your reservation request in order to get a discounted rate.
However, being July high season in Capri, applicants are encouraged to check accommodation availability on the whole island.
