summary |
The study intends at innovating a new relationship between modern digital fabrication technology and vernacular material of construction to break through the stagnation of the construction and design industry. Through this, the research objective is to revive vernacular cob houses in India by contextualising 3D printing to promote social acceptance of mud in a modern way and experiment with its printability to 3D print future cob buildings. To address this research objective, the study specifically explores the steps taken by the artisans to prepare the material mix suitable to build houses. Thus, through a prototype-driven process and rapid experimentation of soil, 3D-printed wall prototypes were tested at a 1:1 scale. The study will present and discuss these physical experiments carried out to develop the concepts of 3D printable mud in detail. |
