As you know, a part of my artworks is about the theme of the house/home, not just about the architecture or the building, but also thinking on how our home can give us different emotion. I pay always attention to everything remind me to this theme and so today I read the curious news about 3D printed houses that can be built in just 24 hours!
Sure, I live in Tuscany where there are beatiful houses built using terracotta bricks and I love so much this materials for houses. I love also rock houses or wooden houses, but that news intrigued me because I think it's a great way to have an house in few time with just few money, especially for people who are in issues. I read that now that 3D printed houses have a cost of about 10.000 $ for a 650 square foot (about 60 mq) house. Just to know, the apartment where my daughter lives is about 55 mq and there are 2 bedroom, a bathroom and a kitchen/living room, so it's not so little.
Icon (the company that build the 3D printed houses) is working on a beautiful project in partnership with the housing noprofit New Story to build 100 new houses in El Salvador during the next year.
If I well understood, even if some 3D printed buildings was build before, the news in this houses is that they'll use a universally building materials directly on the site.
