Y es que sí pasa, que has pasado tú y me has acariciado de las maneras más bonitas. Sobre todo de la manera en que tu nombre me hizo olvidar el miedo a sentir.

Lo volvería a elegir una y otra vez porque me alegró los días como jamás nadie, sacó mis demonios y los aplacó, me curó una herida muy profunda.

Le doy gracias, por el tiempo dedicado a mí, gracias por salvarme y sanarme, gracias por devolverme la sensibilidad, gracias por todo.

“TECLA,”   Massa Lombarda region, Italy,

The World’s First 3D Printed House in Raw Earth!

Built in situ using locally sourced materials, Tecla is an exemplar of a zero-waste product. Local soil was used for the 3D printing’s raw material and on top of this, the sriking, tactile shell is wholly biodegradable – demonstrating how smart architecture can look good but also be in the technological avant-garde and support a low-carbon approach at the same time.

The composition of the earth mixture used in the build was created in direct response to the local climatic conditions.

TECLA, a home from the earth for the Earth built in 3D

Nowadays even architecture has to come to terms with climate change, which is one of the main culprits, but also with the pressing need to continue building. For this reason, MC A – Mario Cucinella Architects, the company WASP – World’s Advanced Saving Project and SOS – School of Sustainability, have created TECLA, the first eco-sustainable house printed in 3D with raw earth.

TECLA was in fact built using one material and one material only: raw earth. Two printing arms managed by a software, which has optimized the movements, avoiding collisions have conducted the entire construction process.
