3d Printed Houses


3D printed concrete homes are a new and innovative approach to construction that utilizes 3D printing technology to create homes made of concrete. The process involves using a large 3D printer to layer concrete, creating walls and other structures in a controlled and efficient manner.

One of the key benefits of 3D printed concrete homes is that they offer a more sustainable and eco-friendly alternative to traditional construction methods. The printing process can produce homes that are highly energy-efficient, with well-insulated walls and minimal waste. Additionally, the use of concrete as a building material provides a strong and durable structure that can withstand harsh weather conditions and last for many years.

Another advantage of 3D printed concrete homes is that they offer greater design flexibility and can be customized to meet the specific needs of each homeowner. The 3D printing process can produce intricate and complex shapes that would be difficult or impossible to achieve with traditional construction methods, making it possible to create truly unique and personalized homes.

Despite the many benefits of 3D printed concrete homes, there are also some challenges and limitations to this construction method. For example, the cost of the technology and the need for specialized equipment can be significant, making 3D printed homes more expensive than traditional homes. Additionally, the printing process can be time-consuming and requires specialized training and expertise to operate.

Despite these challenges, the future of 3D printed concrete homes is promising and there are many companies and organizations exploring this construction method. With advances in technology and further development of the process, it is likely that 3D printed homes will become a more accessible and affordable option for homeowners in the future.

Oblivion Sky Tower

Image
A Futuristic Modern Architecture Box (dubbed the Sky Tower) nestled in the surreal setting above the clouds in the (futurist post apocalyptic) movie Oblivion  (2013) written and directed by Joseph Kosinski . The home takes some obvious inspiration from the Stahl House aka Case Study # 22 by Architect Pierre Koenig . The home has some obvious improvements with the the extended helipad over the see through acrylic infinity pool. The foundation of the home is on a unbelievably thin single (steel?) column that seems to be unaffected by the wind throughout the movie. The Director Joseph Kosinski conceived of the sky tower design with early 3D modeling renderings that he made. Joseph Kosinski graduated from Columbia University with a degree in Architecture that explains the strong modern design elements in his work. Kosinski admits that his production design team refined his early ideas into finished reality . The set is a crisp clean design and the frameless glass wall

32 Simple and Basic Design Ideas of Frank Lloyd Wright

Image
I was recently reading an article from the September issue of 1956 House and Home and was astounded to see an interesting FLLW article with tips for the average home builder. As I was reading through the article I was realizing that those tips and advise were still just as pertinent today as it was in 1956. The particular house the article refers to is the Zimmerman house built in Manchester, New Hampshire. The home is part of a series of homes that Wright built known as the Unisonian Homes that were low cost homes for moderate income families. 32 Simple and Basic Design Ideas of Frank Lloyd Wright 1. Stress the Horizontals. (a) Stretch the roof line. (b) Keep the fascia in one straight line except for a good reason. (c) Define a strong middle line. 2. Don't waste a big overhang on the north, and don't feel you must use the same roof pitch on both sides. 3. Keep the roof line low. 4. Don't build a whole wall and punch holes in it for your windows.

Bruce Goff's Ledbetter House

Image
In 1948, Bruce Goff, a renowned Organic Architect, designed and constructed the Ledbetter House in Norman, Oklahoma. One of the most distinctive features of this unique home is its striking carport floating entry, which is supported by steel cables and provides both shelter and aesthetic interest. The Ledbetter House is a stunning example of Goff's Organic Architecture style, which emphasizes the harmonious integration of buildings with their natural surroundings. The house is situated on a wooded site, and Goff incorporated the landscape into the design of the home. The interior of the house features an open floor plan, ample natural light, and stunning views of the surrounding trees. Goff's use of unconventional materials and construction techniques is one of the most notable aspects of the Ledbetter House. He used materials such as steel prefabricated trusses and stones, which were incorporated into the design in creative ways. The ceiling of the home is made of corr
