Even if environmental factors such as ocean acidification can be addressed, our decimated coral reefs will still need some help growing back. That’s where a “Lego-like” system known as 3D Innoreef is designed to come in.Continue ReadingCategory: Enviro… Continue reading 3D-printed concrete “Innoreefs” could help restore real coral reefs
We’ve heard how 3D-printed concrete buildings can be constructed quickly and easily, but could there be an even faster and simpler method? According to American inventor Alex Bell, there most certainly is – and it involves inflating buildings, then pum… Continue reading Structure-inflating construction tech could give 3D printing a run for its money
From residential homes and skyscrapers to art sculptures and footpaths, concrete is everywhere you look and it’s difficult to imagine the modern world without it. As the most widely-used human-made material on Earth, it also plays a huge role in global… Continue reading Shredded masks and broken glass: Green ingredients for better concrete
Tasked with installing a visitor’s center that doesn’t dominate the landscape at Jodrell Bank astronomical observatory in England, architecture studio Hassell took the approach of burying it near the famous Lovell Telescope. The building – named the Fi… Continue reading Buried visitor’s center incorporates pieces of iconic Lovell Telescope
Scientists continue to make promising inroads around more durable forms of concrete, and engineers at Melbourne’s RMIT University have been operating at the cutting edge of this research for some time. Their latest example simultaneously tackles the mo… Continue reading Concrete made with shredded PPE gear offers up to 22% higher strength
In recent years, we’ve heard about efforts to replace some of the aggregate used in concrete with crumbled used tires. Now, however, scientists have succeeded in producing good quality concrete in which all of the aggregate has been replaced with tire … Continue reading Scientists create quality concrete with 100% tire-rubber aggregate
It’s all happening in Milwaukee at the moment. Following the completion of the world’s tallest timber tower, the always-interesting Ennead Architects has revealed design plans for an eye-catching new museum in the city that’s inspired by geological for… Continue reading Giant rocks set to roll into downtown Milwaukee as new museum
Playing an indispensable role in global construction, cement contributes around seven percent of annual greenhouse gas emissions owing to its carbon-intensive production process. Scientists at the University of Colorado Boulder claim to have uncovered … Continue reading Cement formed with biogenic limestone promises carbon-neutral concrete
Many of the 3D printed houses and structures we’ve seen use concrete and are — frankly — a little underwhelming. Making big squares out of concrete isn’t that hard and …read more Continue reading 3D Printed Concrete Beam Improves Sustainability
[FloweringElbow] aka [Bongo] on YouTube is certainly having a go at this, and we reckon he’s onto a winner! This epic flatbed CNC build (video, embedded below) starts with some …read more Continue reading Can You Build An Industrial grade CNC With Only DIY Resources?
