ARCHITECTURAL RECORD APRIL <strong>2015</strong> perspectivetechnology 33 The Fine Print Three design teams employ three different methods to arrive at 3-D printed structures. By Anna Fixsen in the summer of 1908, Thomas Edison filed a patent for a contraption that could construct a house—bathtubs and all—with a single pour of concrete. Although such aspirations may seem amusing today, Edison’s goals aren’t far off those of contemporary research involving the 3-D printer. Three ongoing architecture projects on three continents demonstrate different approaches to this technology. If successful, they will have far-reaching implications for the design and construction industry. Perhaps the most prominent example is the 3D Print Canal House, a project started by Amsterdam-based firm DUS Architects in January 2014 and funded, in part, by the city. 12 13 11 10 3 9 5 4 7 6 2 1 8 PHOTOGRAPHY: © OLIVIER MIDDENDORP When complete, DUS Architects’ canal house will resemble a traditional Dutch home (top, left; and clockwise). The firm has encouraged the public’s involvement, inviting visitors to see the printer in action. The house is printed piece by piece. A chunk of one room (above, and in chart at right) features an intricate tessellation-like pattern. Using a beefed-up version of an Ultimaker desktop 3-D printer (the Kamermaker, as it’s called, is approximately 20 feet tall), the firm is printing large architectural components of the house with a bio-based “ink” made primarily of linseed oil. When completed, these components—which have openings for wire and cables—will be filled with a lightweight concrete to connect them. To date, they have printed one room, and, this month, DUS plans to unveil a second machine that will print even larger pieces and enable the team to print 24 hours a day. “As a firm, our dream is that people can go online, download their ideal house, and customize it on demand with no hassle, so that the luxury of made-to-measure architecture becomes available to the masses,” says DUS partner Hedwig Heinsman. Since DUS began the project in earnest barely a year ago, the architects say they have increased the printer speed by 400 percent. Currently, the team is experimenting with the molecular makeup of the ink and incorporating additives such as wood chips, which creates a product similar to particleboard. 1 ENTRANCE 2 BATHROOM 3 LIBRARY 4 SITTING ROOM 5 DINING 6 KITCHEN 7 OFFICE 8 OFFICE 9 TREE- HOUSE 10 MINIBAR 11 MINIHOUSE 12 SPA 13 GARDEN ROOM They are also printing molds and testing the tensile properties of the house’s components. Meanwhile, 5,500 miles away in Shanghai, WinSun Decoration Design Engineering is taking DUS’s utopian ideal to an extreme. Last summer, Computer World reported that the company can print 10 squat one-room houses in 24 hours from a mix that includes View additional images at architecturalrecord.com.
