![]() To ensure the longevity of the material in resistance to weather, a waterproof coating is added using raw extracted materials such as aloe and egg whites. The foundation is made of geopolymer and the roof, wooden construction. The structure is made of local earth, mixed with additives and enzymes, to ensure the structural integrity and material elasticity necessary for the optimized 3d printing of the house. The construction of TOVA took 7 weeks to complete, a Crane WASP, and km zero materials.Ĭrane WASP is the world’s first modular and multilevel 3D printer designed to collaboratively build singular and even more extensive architectural works.ĭuring the entire construction process, zero waste is generated, as the materials were sourced within a 50-meter radius. TOVA is the beginning of a larger project in collaboration with WASP in which a complete house made with 3D printing technology is projected. ![]() The project has been developed by a team of students and researchers from the 3D Printing Architecture (3DPA) postgraduate program of the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (IAAC). The project was born from the ongoing research conducted by IAAC to find new ways of facing the social and environmental challenges of the future through its various education and research programs. The Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (IAAC) and WASP have constructed “TOVA”-the first building of this type in Spain and stands out for being one of the most sustainable and environmentally friendly construction forms that can be applied today. ![]()
