TO GROW A BUILDING<\/span><\/h1>\n

Totem<\/h4>\n

To Grow a Building is a research-driven project that explores sustainable architecture through the use of 3D-printed structures made from locally sourced soil and plant seeds, allowing the seeds to germinate and grow after printing. The roots intertwine within the structure, providing natural reinforcement and strength and reducing the need for traditional building materials. The project aims to combine the precision of digital fabrication with the natural adaptability of plants, contributing to sustainability and the preservation of local plant species. This innovative method was tested by creating a totem-like structure with different geometries and seed types, which was placed in a garden setting where the plants grew, with some even reaching harvestable heights.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image media=”95865″ media_width_percent=”100″ uncode_shortcode_id=”199587″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ back_color=”color-gyho” overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″ content_parallax=”0″ uncode_shortcode_id=”192115″ back_color_type=”uncode-palette”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image media=”95864″ caption=”yes” media_width_percent=”100″ media_ratio=”four-three” lbox_caption=”yes” uncode_shortcode_id=”152650″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image media=”95863″ caption=”yes” media_width_percent=”100″ media_ratio=”four-three” uncode_shortcode_id=”123438″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″ content_parallax=”0″ uncode_shortcode_id=”284875″][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
