Amid the vast desert expanse of Inner Mongolia, Desert Ark stands as a landmark in contemporary architectural thought an exploration of how built form can transcend function to become a philosophical reflection on humanity’s relationship with nature. This project transforms…
Alfaisal University has announced the integration of an advanced 3D construction printer into its academic facilities, aiming to enhance both teaching and research in the field of architecture. The initiative coincides with the opening of the university’s new Civil Engineering…
In a notable shift towards sustainable construction, Japanese housing company Lib Work has completed the country’s first 3D-printed house made primarily from locally sourced earth. Located in Yamaga, Kumamoto Prefecture, the project marks a major step toward the company’s long-term…
For years, large format 3D printing has been stuck in a frustrating trade-off: you could either get a massive build volume or high-speed performance but rarely both without spending serious money. That’s where the Sovol SV08 Max steps in, breaking…
In Bratislava, the vibrant capital of Slovakia, COLLARCH has recently brought to life a remarkable bus station that perfectly illustrates the immense possibilities of 3D-printed concrete technology in shaping modern public infrastructure. Working closely with Šebo-Lichý Architects and ICE Coral…
What if concrete didn’t have to be grey, boring, and heavy? In 2025, that idea is being completely reimagined. At the Venice Biennale, an installation called Duality is breaking the mold—literally. This pioneering structure, created by Assistant Professor Cristina Nan…
For centuries, the construction industry has mirrored the progress of human civilization. But the past two decades have seen an unprecedented transformation, moving far beyond traditional techniques into an era of algorithm-driven architecture and intelligent construction. With rising environmental challenges,…
IntroductionThe construction sector is rapidly evolving with the adoption of 3D printing technologies in architectural projects.A remarkable example is the world’s largest 3D-printed restaurant interior, which takes a sustainable architectural approach to turn recycled plastic into functional and aesthetic spatial…
Introduction to the International Code Council (ICC)The International Code Council (ICC) is a key organization that develops building codes designed to ensure safety and encourage innovation in construction. Since October 2023, the ICC has been focused on creating new standards…
3D Printing in Modern Architecture is revolutionizing how buildings are designed and constructed. This technology, once a futuristic concept, has now become integral to the architectural world, offering new possibilities for innovation and efficiency. Architects are leveraging 3D printing to…
About a decade ago, when I was a young designer (though that phase has passed), various companies approached me to design 3D-printed objects. They all made a common mistake – believing they could replace mass production with desktop 3D printers. What they failed to grasp was that technologies simulating other methods often result in cheaper
DesignA device designed to upcycle discarded bottles into 3D printing filamentsTraditional recycling necessitates multiple steps that often involve transporting materials over long distances. In contrast, Polyformer is a PET bottle recycling machine that can be constructed independently by anyone with access to a 3D printerPolyformer by American designer Reiten Cheng emerges as one of the
The use of 3D printing in architecture,3D printing has undergone a seismic transformation over the past few years,as 3D printed building designs are usually converted into prototypes or conceptual models,and are increasingly being realized as physical projects.In 2013, WinSun, a…
Print buildings,The ancients sometimes used to build their own homes even if they were not architects or professional builders,the topic requires learning some techniques that enabled them to participate in building their house and feel a greater sense of return…
