Dutch sustainable architecture firm自然和UAE-based architecture studio巴格马have worked together to fabricate a 3D printed recyclable pavilion for theFloriade 2022世博会in The Netherlands.
Spanning 8,880 square feet, the UAE Pavilion contains 3D printed facades and perimeter walls that can be recycled and re-printed after use, and which reflect the claustra pattern, a typical architectural feature seen within urban environments in the UAE. The pavilion will be on show at the exhibition until its conclusion in October.
“The claustra wall that defines the perimeter of the garden was integral in delivering an immersive experience of a very specific type of landscape in the UAE pavilion,” said Ahmed Khadier, Co-founder and Principal of Pragma. “We wanted to capitalize on the inherent qualities of 3D printing as a construction method that promotes a transition to a more circular way of making buildings and cities of the future.
“This collaboration with Aectual’s team and reliance on their recyclable 3D printing approach allowed us to achieve a modern and elegant aesthetic that blends tradition with innovation in a sustainable production method.”
Aectual的建筑3D打印目的
Aectual成立于2017年，目的是使定制的建筑更具可持续性和可用于设计师和消费者。该公司的建筑添加剂制造技术集中在四个机器人臂安装的3D雷电竞充值打印机周围，能够在500平方英尺的区域上打印360°。雷电竞app下载
Aectual的施工过程与与生态友好的亚麻籽生物塑料兼容Henkel, which can be recycled up to seven times. As a result, the material is far less wasteful than many conventional building materials.
The company’s construction 3D printing technology has been deployed to fabricate a number of large-scale proof-of-concept structures, the first of which was asustainable 3D printed floor为阿姆斯特丹的Schiphol机场。从那以后，ecteual利用其技术来制造bespoke range of floorsat theSalone Del Mobile在米兰，据报道，已由Nike,Burberry和Disney。
Last year, the firm doubled down on its efforts to better reach the consumer market, launching the beta of anon-demand architectural 3D printing platformatCES 2021, alongside a limited edition range ofrecycled 3D printed mussel-shaped plant holders。
The 3D printed UAE Pavilion
According to Aectual and Pragma, the co-developed UAE pavilion is one of the largest featuring 3D printed facades and perimeter walls, and stands out from other examples as it is fully recyclable and re-printable.
巴格马designed the 8,880 square foot pavilion which is surrounded by an expansive 3D printed claustra wall. Historically found in urban environments within the UAE, claustra walls are designed to create privacy while simultaneously allowing air to flow through as natural ventilation. The firm turned to Aectual to bring to life a modern 3D printed take on the traditional wall design for the pavilion.
The partners developed intricate triangular-shaped 3D printed blocks that fit together “like an immense jigsaw puzzle” to create a translucent wall within which a courtyard and building are situated. The building itself is clad in Aectual’s 3D printed Weave panels, which are green, lightweight, and flexible panels 3D printed in plant-based plastic that exhibit a woven appearance.
根据Pragma和Actual的说法，3D打印被证明是制造设计的最可持续和美学方法，所有面板在迪拜设计并在阿姆斯特丹当地制造。结果，建筑产品的运输大大降低了，而Actual的3D打印技术意味着在制造过程中创建了零废物。
Generally, the firm’s technology claims to enable an 80 percent reduction in CO2 compared to conventional construction techniques. However, the biggest sustainability driver of the project is that all of the 3D printed parts used in the pavilion can be shredded after use and re-printed into new products. This, the firms say, makes the building of the pavilion 100 percent circular.
“Large-scale industrial 3D printing is coming of age,” said Hans Vermeulen, CEO of Aectual. “This project demonstrates beautifully how our digital design algorithms give designers flexibility in tailored design and on-demand production.”
The Floriade Expo is a leading exhibition and garden festival that takes place in the Netherlands once a decade, and this year’s central theme is “Growing Green Cities.” The 3D printed UAE pavilion is titled “Salt Water Cities: where land meets sea” and is designed to offer a multi-sensory experience to visitors regarding the challenges of the UAE’s location amidst desert and sea.
更可持续的建筑
The sustainability advantages of 3D printing for construction are being increasingly realized as new additive manufacturing methods and materials are developed for the sector. In fact, the technology has already been deployed for the fabrication ofhomes,schools,公园， 和othercommercial buildingsin a more environmentally-minded approach to construction.
一家一直在开发使用3D打印一段时间的可持续建筑发展的公司是WASP。该公司以前已经使用当地地球和其他天然材料打印Gaia Eco House和Tecla环保住房模型, while its printers have more recently been used by the likes ofDassault Systemes和建筑师亚瑟·马穆·玛尼（Arthur Mamou-Mani）展示的可能性sustainable design with additive manufacturing。
