The Print Farm - 3D Printing Concrete in Urban Environments

Abstract [en]

This architectural project involves the construction of two innovative farming pavilions 3D printed in concrete. 

The first, smaller shelter is a milking station. The second, larger, building is a pasteurisation plant and milk bar. Both work together in creating a public, civic fragment of the master plan of The Print Farm. Animals roaming around the field of Valhallavägen is a vision of a parallel identity to Stockholm’s city life.The design contributes to the overall rehabilitation of the median strip through forestation and reorganisation of the street. These moves would be made possible by utilizing 3D-printed material.

Situated along Valhallavägen, starting across from the KTH campus, the initiative aims to catalyze agricultural development in urban environments over time.The project employs advanced 3D printing techniques and robotic functions that operate along the street axis. It is a blend of cutting-edge technology and future-focused, new, “urban” architecture.

The project focuses on the display of benefits of 3DPC especially in the urban fabric.Simultaneously, it experiments with the potential of site development and the future of agricultural practices.Working in the KTH labs and testing the method in various scales (both in plastic and concrete) was the main fuel of knowledge and research throughout the project.
