The construction industry is among the largest contributors to global CO₂ emissions, demanding a shift toward sustainable, high-performance building materials. Bio based resources and additive manufacturing open new possibilities for environmentally responsible design, aligning with the principles of passive architecture. This research explores 3D printing with wood waste biomass to create architectural components that merge thermal efficiency with structural performance. At the material scale, it investigates formulation strategies, printability, structural behaviour, and thermal performance, enabling designers to tailor composites for desired strength and comfort. At the geometric scale, it examines how toolpath design and material behaviour influence buildability, strength and insulation performance at large scale. The result is a pathway for architects to craft climate-responsive, circular architecture, where form, function, and environmental responsibility are embedded in every printed layer.
