Zaha Hadid Architects（ZHA）和家具制造商Tecno在威尼斯吉亚迪尼（Wenice Giardini）展示了他们的新“ Alis Pod”办公室概念，并具有定制的基于植物的3D印刷地板。
Developed by Amsterdam-based architectural 3D printing firmAectual, the pod’s distinct base is a carbon-neutral terrazzo flooring. The pattern lines are 3D printed out of linseed (flaxseed), while the aggregate resin is based on a soy material with real marble stone additives.
Aectual’s flooring also comes complete with a red list-free certificate, meaning it doesn’t contain any elements known to pose risks to human health. It is also 100% volatile organic compound (VOC)-free and 100% recyclable.
The ALIS pod
The ALIS pod office concept features an orchid-inspired design, with organic ‘petals’ bounding the four glass walls. The cubic structure measures almost six meters in length, and can be fully customized based on the requirements of the user and the location in which it will be fitted.
Intended as a mobile and modular space to meet with others, the ALIS pod can be installed both indoors and outdoors, in commercial offices as well as stations and airports. It can also be disassembled and transported with ease, with various petal configurations available upon reassembly.
就像地板一样，POD中的其余元素也考虑到圆形经济。ZHA指出，一旦POD达到生命的终结，就可以将Alis的组件回收或升级用于次要应用，从而确保最小的废物。
Patrik Schumacher, Director of Zaha Hadid Architects, said, “Our work marries innovations in design and operational technologies with advances in ecologically sound materials and sustainable construction practices. We must not look only at the disparate parts, but work to understand them as a whole to deliver the solutions to the defining challenges of our era.”
3D printed图案Terrazzo X Durabella地板
Aectual的3D打印系统是一个六轴，基于挤出的机器人臂。通过将这些打印机中的四个一起运行，该公司能够在500平方英尺的面积上打印，产生大规模的物体和地板，然后将其焊接在一起。
该公司的3D打印地板图案are entirely customizable on a project-by-project basis, meaning customers like Tecno and ZHA are able to integrate way-finding, highlight specific points of interest, and use geometry to create a sense of place and scope. The pattern lines come in any RAL or NCS colors, and the clients can often choose from a wide variety of aggregate infill materials. For the ALIS pod, ZHA opted for Aectual x Durabella aggregate no. 4: a dark green infill with Nero Ebano and Alpi Verde marble.
Due to the slight flexibility of the 3D printed floor, it reportedly won’t crack under heavy foot traffic either. The material is designed to be highly hardwearing, easy to clean, and has better acoustics than traditional cement-based terrazzo flooring. This makes it a viable choice for places like hospitals, hotels, restaurants and shops.
得益于增材制造业授予的设计自由，建筑业可以从新颖的3D印刷建筑设计以及可能降低成本和更快的构建时间中受益匪浅。本月初，一个名为“斐波那契之家”的3D印刷房屋变成了first of its kind to be listed在流行的旅行网站上Airbnb。Built by Dutch construction start-upTwente添加剂制造, the compact yet luxuriously-upholstered holiday home is now available for rental in the scenic hills of British Columbia, Canada.
别处，Habitat for Humanity，一个致力于缓解贫困的非营利组织，已经开始亚利桑那州坦佩市的3D打印负担得起的住房。Last month, the organization used acobodBOD 2 concrete 3D printer, along with construction firm佩里还有其他几个当地合作伙伴，将3D打印一间拥有三间卧室和两间浴室的家庭房屋。完成后，将选择一个栖息地的家庭住在房子里。
