Printing Architecture: How Additive Manufacturing Methodologies are Posited to Transform Building Construction?

The Lotus House in the 2018 Solar Decathlon Competition not only demonstrated the ability of 3D printing technology to produce an innovative, attractive, and sustainably-designed structure but, more importantly, contributes to the knowledge for implementing customized architecture in the prefabricated housing industry. Led by a trans-disciplinary group of faculty members in the disciplines of Architecture, Construction Management, Computer Science, and Engineering, the Lotus House project was developed with oversight by and in partnership with companies at the forefront of the construction market and composite materials industries in both the U.S. and China.
