- Case Study -
PRINTABLE DWELLING
Buildings can be 3D printed. Designers and architects get inspired by unusual construction methods and materials. A professor's cast cement vessels in the College of Visual Arts gave me an idea. Made of structural geopolymer, the Printable Dwelling has a topcoat of smooth or sculpted stucco.
Exploring the building with virtual reality revealed other possibilities. Flying above it, I saw the central cylinder as super conduit for electric, water, and air handling. Printed first, it supports a robotic arm to print the dome sections. Inside the cylinder, there's a spiral staircase to the observation deck and comms platform.
Archways between dome sections are windows. This model omits doors and other common building components. Details get added incrementally to digital prototypes. Concept visualizations with sufficient detail demonstrate reduction to practice in successful design patent applications.
