UN- AFRIKA HOUSING
Year: 2020/ Location: Africa / Concept/ Use: residential, cultural















Within the framework of the United Nations project, “Sustainable Cities and Communities”, using 3D House Printing technologies, with a mixture of Adobe and cement, we designed various types of houses, which passively respond to the high temperatures of the place, and allow the customization and intervention of the users, adding paintings, ornaments and free roof- shapes in natural fibers to the main structure, this in order to allow the cultural appropriation of the built matter, embracing this new 3D printing technology through characteristic architectural elements of the different African cultures where the project would be carried out .
Cross natural ventilation, passive heat regulation, and photovoltaic panels are some of the proposals for sustainable measures.
