Ronald Rael 3D prints ‘Adobe Oasis’ for art show in Coachella Valley Professional Additive Manufacturing

by Architecture

For years we’ve been following the work of Ronald Rael, a designer and architect who frequently works with large-scale 3D printing technologies (he is also a founder member of Emerging Objects). His latest project, part of the 2025 Desert X exhibition in Coachella Valley, is a distillation of many of the themes he is interested in, including indigenous building practices, sustainability, organic materials, and contemporary technologies. The project, called Adobe Oasis, consists of an installation of mud passageways made using robotic 3D printing and inspired by the palms of Coachella Valley’s oases.

The Warp: a Japanese tea house made from 3D printed wood Construction 3D Printing

by Architecture

At Dubai Design Week last month, Japanese architecture firm Mitsubishi Jisho Design presented The Warp, a unique tea house installation made from recycled wood and constructed using extrusion 3D printing. The structure, which is made up of around 900 individual panels, was assembled using a traditional Japanese woodworking joinery technique, which does not require the use of any adhesives, nails or screws.
