     @lain 3d-printing for building construction makes me cringe so hard. It's like the mis-application of blockchain.
     
     On another note, Islam is catching up to Christianity with ugly soulless brutalist postmodern architecture.
     
     And Dubai is being Dubai.

     @john @lain this video provided a fair skepticism: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sz1LM9kwRLY
     
     It only 3d prints the walls, which are far less than 95% of the house. The walls are concrete, which cannot be smoothed or nailed into or have cabinets hung on without significant human labor. Cracking and weather sealing is a big problem. It's not even cheaper.
     
     The big examples that people have done are frequently not even real (prefabricated elsewhere or touched up by hand), and never include a 3d-printed 2nd floor, because that's not possible to do.

     @aven @lain

     Or perhaps just the term is misapplied. I saw a really cool video about... basically robot concrete pouring & shaping... built 95%+ of the house in an automated way (once a human drove the truck there).

     Maybe not economically reasonable where you live or whatever, but I see nothing fundamentally wrong with the approach.
