TECHNOLOGY MEETS HUMANITY

Massimiliano Locatelli | CLS Architetti, in collaboration with Italcementi Heidelberg Cement Group, Arup and Cybe for Milano Design Week 2018, presents a project for a house of 100 square meters, 3d printed on site, at Piazza Cesare Beccaria.

A research project on the possibilities offered by 3d printing in the field of sustainable architecture, responding to the increasingly urgent revolution in the world of housing.

3D HOUSING 05 is a house designed with a new architectural language developed thanks to a revolutionary technology.

3D HOUSING 05 establishes a dialogue with the context, interpreting economic, human, social and productive changes in the contemporary world.

3D HOUSING 05 is composed of a living area, a bedroom area, a kitchen, a bathroom and a terrace roof.

The interiors have been designed with reference to archetypes of the past, in a dialogue with the 3d language.
The concrete composite - the basic construction material - is juxtaposed with equally strong and timeless materials: the brass of the window frames, the marble of the bath fixtures, the smoothed plaster as one of the possible wall finishes, the sheets of polished brass for a reinterpreted industrial kitchen.
The stratification of the concrete generates a pattern, a surface on which climbing plants can grow spontaneously, reaching the roof which becomes an urban garden.
The project comes from the desire to think about our future, to improve quality of life through the revolution of technology.
