Fluid Forms is an architectural project carried out by researchers at ETH Zurich's Digital Building Technologies that explores a new and innovative means of robotically 3D-printing doubly curved thin shells. A short film distills the three-week fabrication and assembly down to three minutes. John Hill

Marra Marra Shack is built using timber pillars made out of repurposed 200 years old electrical posts. The house is entirely built in timber; only the facade is covered by thin, fire-resistant fiber cement sheets. Leopold Banchini and Daniel Zamarbide

The Street-Wall Gallery on Yuyuan Road is an art gallery designed for passersby. We conceived this ultra-thin art gallery, which clings closely to the wall, with a glass slot of 4.2 meters long and 30 millimeters high. Bengo Studio

Vaulted Willow is an architectural folly exploring lightweight, ultra-thin, self-supported shells through the development of custom computational protocols of structural form-finding and descriptive geometry. The project's aim is to resolve and delineate structure, skin and ornamentation into... MARC FORNES/THEVERYMANY

The "Tin House," which Frank Gehry designed for artist Ron Davis in the late 1960s and has been owned by actor Patrick Dempsey since 2009, has hit the market with an asking price of $14.5 million. John Hill
