PRINTABLE DWELLING
Buildings can be 3D printed. Designers and architects get inspired by potential applications of atypical tools and materials. A professor's monumental vessels in the College of Visual Arts gave me an idea. This concept dwelling can be printed with geopolymer cement, then coated with smooth or sculpted stucco.
Exploring the building in virtual reality revealed a world of possibilities. Flying above it, I saw the central column as super conduit for water, air, and electric handling. Printed first, it supports a robotic arm to print the dome sections. Inside the column, there's a spiral staircase to the observation platform.
Archways between dome sections are windows. This model omits doors and other common building components. Elements get added incrementally to digital prototypes and 3D concept visualizations. Virtual reality visualizations with sufficient detail demonstrate reduction to practice in successful patent applications.
