Printed Physics looks at those technological and economical developments with which the physical characteristics of materials can be symbolically programmed, for example in the field of photovoltaics or in electronics more generally. These devices are already being industrially produced by a printing procedure. It is no exaggeration to call this a modern printing revolution, although, unlike in Gutenbergs day, the printed product does not represent anything but instead is itself functionally operative. This book is the first volume of the Applied Virtuality book series based on the metalithicum conferences organized twice a year by the Laboratory of Applied Virtuality CAAD at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology ETH Zürich, where distinguished personalities from a broad range of architecture-related fields come together to discuss particular technological developments that are economically significant and philosophically interesting.
