Finally the building waste meets new technology to contribute in built environment stepping further to sustainable future. Recently material firm in China has successfully built a house with mix of industry wast and cement using 3D Printer. It will be used as office at the industrial park in Shanghai. The building is not only usable but it also demonstrated future process of building an architecture that consume less energy and labor.
It is still long way to go since the roof structure was not resolved by the printer and also other technical issues such as waterproofing and need of testing actual impact on human health. But I see a great potential of these project and its application in future. In my opinion this technique can be quite useful if it develops further to designing an affordable housing or emergency shelter that requires low budget and short period of time.
