Get to know some of these new modes of construction: the 3D printing of homes or the collaborative design of cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3D Printing<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“Space matters, so you have to use it more efficiently. Soon we will be talking about houses built with 3D<\/strong> printing in the United States<\/em>,” continues Anita Roth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 3D printing of homes is already a reality. The Valencian startup BeMore<\/strong><\/a>, for example, sells them for about 50,000 euros: the firm prints the personalized design by the client on the land that he provides in about 24 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

China is very advanced in this field: four years ago a 3D printer was presented capable of building ten houses of 200 square meters in a single day. The responsible company, WinSu<\/strong><\/a>, has even overcome the obstacle of height (this type of prefabricated housing is usually horizontal) by printing a five-storey building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 3D printing of homes allows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Lower costs.<\/li>
  2. Use less polluting and even recycled materials.<\/li>
  3. Much less pollution in the construction process.<\/li>
  4. Optimize the energy expenditure of the house.<\/li>
  5. Use new materials such as translucent<\/strong><\/a> hormone and self-repairable hormone<\/strong><\/a>.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    “The use of recycled materials<\/strong> in design and construction is one of the great future trends that we see in the medium and long term<\/em>,” says Chris Johnson<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, executive director for the Middle East of the architecture, urbanism and design firm Gensler<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Collaborative design modes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The emergence of new technologies and the greater involvement of actors in their environment are resulting in collaborative urban design experiences<\/strong>. The involvement of the public, private and citizens themselves can help to develop urban planning better suited to the needs of city dwellers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The innovative initiatives of Quadruple H\u00e9lice (companies, universities, governments and citizens)<\/strong> around urban design are multiplying: one of the most conceptually advanced initiatives worldwide is that of the Smart Social City Knowledge Centers<\/em><\/strong>, promoted by the Spanish company Smart Social City<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
