Evaluation of the Additive manufacturing (AM) and its role in reducing the environmental damage caused by the industry section to achieve sustainability in architecture in the light of the fourth industrial revolution

Abstract

Despite the benefits of the industrial revolutions to humanity, which 
changed the face of life. In turn, caused many environmental 
problems such as climate change and global warming. Architecture 
and the building construction sector have the biggest negative impact on the environment Because of thermal emissions resulting from the 
manufacture of building materials, the waste of resources, raw 
materials used in construction, and the process of the manufacturing 
building. However, we are at the beginning of the era of the Fourth 
Industrial Revolution, resulting from the rapid development in the 
various and overlapping technological fields, which makes it very 
different from its previous three counterparts, and strongly 
nominates it to fix the climate change and global warming caused by 
the three industrial revolutions. thanks to the digital manufacturing 
and the digital and biological technology intertwined in the 
construction industry that was presented by the Fourth Industrial 
Revolution. The aim of the study: To know the impact of Additive 
Manufacturing as one of the most important factors of the Fourth 
Industrial Revolution and its role in changing the face of the 
construction industry represented in the use of the 3D printer that 
allows the use of sustainable materials in an advanced way and allow 
the benefit of biological technology in building materials, making it a 
direct contribution to reducing the environmental damage caused by 
the traditional construction industry.
