IAAC expands 3D Printed Earth Forest Campus using Crane WASP 3D printer

L'Istituto di Architettura Avanzata della Catalogna (IAAC) ha completato la stampa 3D di un nuovo prototipo di edificio a basse emissioni di carbonio utilizzando terra e materiali naturali disponibili localmente. L'IAAC ha utilizzato una stampante 3D Crane WASP per creare l'edificio leggero sperimentale come parte dell'espansione del Campus 3D Printed Earth Forest dell'istituto nel Parco Naturale di Collserola, a Barcellona. Il progetto rappresenta un passo importante nello sviluppo di un modello abitativo sostenibile, a chilometro zero e a prezzi accessibili. 3dPA   WASP - World's Advanced Saving Project (Progetto Mondiale di Risparmio Avanzato) WASP - World's Advanced Saving Project è stato fondato nel 2012 a Massa...

MCA and WASP complete the first eco-sustainable house 3d printed from raw earth

The first eco-sustainable house 3d printed from raw earth has been completed by MCA (Mario Cucinella Architects) and WASP (World’s Advanced Saving Project). Inspired by one of Italo Calvino’s ‘invisible cities’, the project combines the spirit of an ancient dwelling with 21st-century technological production.   Iago Corazza Achieving near-zero emissions, the project’s use of entirely local materials allows for a reduction of waste and scraps. Together with the use of raw earth, TECLA is a pioneering example of low-carbon housing.   Iago Corazza MCA explored the TECLA concept not only in terms of formal aesthetics, but also its relationship to its specific climate and latitude.

3D printed global habitat concept TECLA to be launched in Bologne

In a time of exponential population increase and an associated lack of affordable housing, TECLA is a 3D printed habitat made of reusable, recyclable materials taken from the earth itself. Designed by MC A – Mario Cucinella Architects and engineered and built by WASP (Italy’s pioneering 3d printing specialists), the first prototype of TECLA is due to be launched this year near Bologna, Italy. WASP Inspired by the potter wasp, TECLA will be constructed with multiple collaborative 3D printers using locally sourced clay. A biodegradable and recyclable ‘km 0 natural’ material, the use of local clay that will result in a building that is effectively zero-waste. WASP The design is able to adapt to multiple envi... Altro
