House In A Hurry
Architecture
It may look like little more than a glorified concrete shed, but this humble home represents the future of prefabrication and architecture within every recycled fibre of its 3D-printed body. Earlier this month, innovative Shanghai-based company WinSun assembled an impressive 10 of these 3D-printed homes in 24 hours, each costing less than $5000 to construct. The prototype turns house manufacturing and technology on its head, with four specially engineered 6.6m x 10m x 32m printers used to produce the structural components of the homes – spraying layer by layer of wall, floor and bracing offsite.
