ABOUT

Matthias Leschok is an architectural researcher, designer, and technologist working at the intersection of computation, digital fabrication, and large-scale additive manufacturing. His work investigates how emerging fabrication technologies can radically reduce material use, reshape construction logics, and enable new structural and architectural typologies.

Matthias holds a doctorate from ETH Zurich, where he developed Hollow-Core 3D Printing (HC3DP), a patented lightweight polymer-based formwork and structural fabrication technology that advances sustainable approaches to large-format AM. His research has been recognized through journal features, exhibitions, and invited talks, and has contributed to broader discourses on computational design, structural innovation, and fabrication-aware architecture.

He is the co-founder and COO of SAEKI Robotics AG, an ETH spin-off translating architectural research into industrial practice by building automated micro-factories for large-scale robotic fabrication. His work bridges academic inquiry with real-world deployment, exploring how computational processes, robotic systems, and material intelligence shape future construction.

Always driven by curiosity, Matthias engages with new materials, computational methods, and emerging fabrication ecologies, seeking to expand how architectural systems are conceived, produced, and experienced.
