RE: Help Wanted: Builders for the Fort Galt Project
I was thinking along the lines of those cement laying mega sized 3D printers. Maybe combined with some prefab modules etc. I'd like to see a project like this really push the architectural-sustainable envelope.
This isn't a stunt to get publicity in tech crunch or wired. 3D printing would make absolutely no sense for what we're doing. It's a simple building that only calls for local materials and traditional methods... besides, softwood lumber is much more sustainable than cement, as far as materials go.
That's true about cement's energy footprint. It's early days for printing dwellings and 'suggesting' them may have been a bit premature. My apologies.
