ECOURBARCHITECTURAL HOUSES FROM PRINTED MATERIALS
<p><strong>Abstract</strong></p> <p>The speedy development of digital technologies of 3D printers and the introduction of construction robotised machines in the construction of houses, at the beginning of this century, brought a completely new conceptual strategy in the eco-urban architectural design of functional residential-business, industrial, economic, tourist and other horizontal and vertical dimensions. Incredible revolutionary urban planning changes have occurred in cultural-historical inherited artifactual and natural physical structures in space. Instead of the recent forty or more working hours for the traditional construction of one square meter of usable area in the building, when building materials and bricks were exchanged, today it takes only five minutes! With the introduction of robotic digital machines for printing walls and structural parts of buildings made of mud, concrete, plastic and long-specific materials, a new historical page of the future in the construction industry has been opened, when the amount of waste is zero and when the exact amount of required material is known in advance. An extremely high speed was achieved in the innovative construction of printed houses immediately ready for use. Examples from the world, in this work, show that objects made of printed material provide users with absolute security since tests have confirmed their static resistance to earthquakes, winds and other disasters.</p> <p><strong>Keywords:</strong> 3D printer, digital technologies, robotisation, eco-urban architecture, cultural and historical heritage</p> <p> </p>
