F. Setaki

F. Setaki is a researcher at Delft University of Technology within the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment, specializing in the Environmental Technology and Design department. Their work bridges architectural innovation with sustainable material science, focusing on circular economy applications in the building sector.

Research centers on acoustic design using recycled materials (e.g., drinking straws as sound absorbers) and additive manufacturing for sustainable construction. Key contributions include 3D-printed broadband sound absorbers (2023) and terra-ink earth manufacturing for emergency architecture (2019). The research trajectory shows increasing focus on circular building systems, evolving from material studies (2017 polypropylene composites) to disruptive industry-wide circular models (2022).

Scientific impact is demonstrated through high-citation publications in Building and Environment (46 Scopus citations) and Architecture, Structures and Construction. Collaborations span TU Delft departments and international institutions, with notable partnerships with M. Turrin, M. Tenpierik, and A. van Timmeren. Current work emphasizes scalable solutions for material reuse in architectural practice.
