ABSTRACT
North Amsterdam is home to the 3D Print Canal House, a prestigious ‘research-by-doing’ project that involves constructing a typical canal side property using 3D printing. If the architects and sponsors involved in the initiative have their way, this experiment will be the city of the future in microcosm: sustainable, socially-conscious and creative. Perfectly reflecting the Zeitgeist, it is also an exhibition and event space, where the public can contribute ideas and watch live as a huge printer, the KamerMaker (RoomBuilder), produces the new building materials and designs.
