3D-printed center in Tanzania built with local soil
In Kibaha, eastern Tanzania, construction will begin on a unique community center. It will be 3D printed using local earth.
This project will use a clay-based earth mixture that will be extruded in layers to form the walls. Thin wire mesh will be added to reinforce the structure.
The interior of the community center will have an open floor plan with minimal columns for flexibility. A central steel beam will serve as the base for the roof, made of local wood sections and covered with lightweight corrugated metal panels.
Prototypes of the walls have already been fabricated. However, construction start and completion dates are not yet known.

The project with the "vertical forest" on the LCD has failed in China

The complex has been under construction in Sichuan province since 2018.
