Fablab Venezia participated to the Shamballa dream offering its vision on the housing module. It is going to be an earth and straw house, to be divided in parts, parametric portions, to be printed with the Delta WASP 3MT 3d printer.
The process idea is developed to give each future inhabitant the possibility to customize the shape of his house, starting from a given base, a sort of curve structure, to be then modified according to the needs.
Through an interactive configurator everyone can choose the number of rooms, their dimension and the position of the openings; an algorithm manages the shape in real time, defining and dividing the shell in pieces with the right dimension, eventually creating the printing g-codes.
