3D Houses Made in China

It's happening. 3D printed houses.
Here in China WinSun Decoration Design Engineering Co 'printed' 10 houses in one day. The Architects Newspaper reports that the little village houses are made in flat pack parts by a 3D printer using a concrete aggregate of recycled construction waste, tailing and other industrial mater. Wowser.
Okay now purists are going to say it's not really strictly 3D printed if there if you need to slot together some parts but you gotta admit this is pretty cool. Slashing construction costs and making affordable housing is pretty admirable. I also quite like how it looks like flat packed cardboard.

If you still don't like it check out a more 'purist' 3D printed house in Holland due to be completed some time next year.
