Detroit Month of design
Setting the Table for affordable housing
Setting the Table for Affordable Housing is an exploration of a nascent technology for the built environment. With this exhibition, we are excited to showcase the advantages of 3d modeling, 3d printing and parametric design and highlight how these advantages can be brought to bear on the homes we build. This event is our way of “setting the table” for affordable housing by showing the capabilities of 3d concrete printing, we expand awareness and encourage adoption of this promising technology for affordable housing.
Entries will be showcased at Citizen Robotics during Detroit Month of Design.
Selected entries will be used for demonstration printing during the event. Printed tables will be sold through silent auction as a fundraiser for Citizen Robotics.
Selected entries will be used as part of the display at the Form & Seek exhibit, Here x Now.
