The ashen cabin<\/em><\/a><\/strong> is a great example of that. This design transforms wood which is already considered useless or damaged into affordable and sustainable material which can be used for 3d cutting and printing. They use large logs, which are scanned to a high level of precision and then cut to the desired specifications for the build. This was done by using a robotic arm which sawed the wood into slices that would then be assembled piece by piece to create the outer shell of the house. Which you can see that makes up for most of the exterior structure or panels of the house.<\/p>\n

Taking into consideration what concrete is also responsible to a tenth of the CO2 emissions released into the air, this design only uses concrete only where deemed absolutely necessary. Meaning that some of it was used to hold the structural integrity of the house such as the base, floor, and the prominent chimney in the exterior fa\u00e7ade. The Ashen cabin is not the only project where they experiment with this. They have also used a similar method of creating small 3d printed structures<\/strong> from concrete in another project called the Corbel Cabin. They use the architectural method known as corbelling to fill the span of a space by printing the concrete into layers creating a 3d dimensional structure.<\/p>\n
