So then, what does a house of the future look like? Is it a Matti Suuronen Futuro house or, as Liu Cixin would have it, a branching tree? Probably not. Instead, Park + Associates (P+A) have designed a house that is wholly within the remit of P+A’s aesthetic of site-specific architecture. Rather than approach the project as a speculative experiment, the home is a living, breathing proof of concept for how 3D printing might reshape our cities. It is, moreover, a home, and the home of Park at that. So, while it demonstrates 3D printing as a practical, viable and transformative technology for the built environment sector, it also addresses the needs for living.
