This is the best summary I could come up with:
In 2024, 3DCP Group and design firm SAGA Space Architects say they will build a non-profit student housing community with help from a 3D printer.
The construction lot, presently an unused patch of old trees, is located near VIA University College's Holstebro campus.
Outside, the plan is to surround these student homes with plants, parking spots for bicycles and electric vehicles, walking trails, and social spaces in the form of courtyards.
The project's developer, housing non-profit NordvestBo, will select future tenants from a pool of applications "assuming there will be a 'first come, first served' aspect," Sebastian Aristotelis, cofounder of SAGA Space Architects, told Insider in an email.
He could not detail the project's cost but did say the team has to follow the government of Denmark's budget for social housing "based on the square meter and a few other parameters."
Like Aristotelis, proponents of 3D printing construction believe the tech can build unique high-quality homes while saving time, waste, and money.
