Less than a year ago, mega retailer Walmart revealed it had commissioned one of the largest free-standing 3D printed commercial buildings in the United States. This build, completed in Tennessee, consisted of an 8,000-square-foot expansion to an existing site, which now functions as a online pickup center. Today, evidently satisfied with its first major foray into construction 3D printing, Walmart is preparing to open a second 3D printed expansion, this time in Huntsville, Alabama.

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.
