The structure’s thin, double-curved surfaces were inspired by the petals of
. The project was designed by students, printed by Loci Robotics and constructed on the University of Tennessee Research Park at Cherokee Farm in Knoxville., a 450-square-foot prototype dwelling designed by Mario Cucinella Architects and printed in Massa Lombarda, a small town in Italy.The architects printed Tecla out of clay sourced from a local river. The unique combination of this inexpensive material and radial geometry created an energy-efficient form of alternative housing.
Back in the US, the architecture firm Lake Flato partnered with the construction technology firm ICON to print concrete exterior walls for a home dubbed “The 2,000-square-foot home demonstrates the speed and efficiency of 3D-printed concrete, and the structure displays a pleasing contrast between its curvilinear walls and its exposed timber frame.Large-scale additive manufacturing involves three knowledge areas: digital design, digital fabrication and material science.
To begin, architects create computer models of all the components that will be printed. These designers can then use software to test how the components will respond to structural forces and tweak the components accordingly. These tools can also help the designer figure out how to reduce the weight of components and automate certain design processes, such as smoothing complex geometric intersections, prior to printing.then translates the computer model into a set of instructions for the 3D printer.
Being the head of the home isn't easy, you are expected to provide for the home, I lost my job during the pandemic and relied on the little money I had,things were hard until I met Nicholascorney and started Bitcoin trading, I earned R150,000 in 3 weeks thanks Nicholascorney.
