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.

ICC releases ICC 1150 standard for 3D printed concrete walls Construction 3D Printing

by Architecture

The International Code Council (ICC) has announced the development of ICC 1150, the first-ever standard for 3D Automated Construction Technology (3DACT) for 3D Concrete Walls. This standard aims to provide comprehensive structural criteria for interior and exterior 3D printed concrete walls, supporting load-bearing, non-load-bearing, and shear wall applications in single-story and multi-story structures.
