随着互联网的出现，我们可以在眨眼之间访问世界上的所有信息，而不是在图书馆中花费数小时。您认为 3D 打印可以对建筑技术产生类似的影响吗？你相信它可以成为前进的道路吗？
 
在这个快节奏的世界中，3D 打印可以彻底改变建筑师设计建筑的方式。它以更低的成本和快速的执行在设计中开辟了无限的可能性。这不亚于一场革命！
 
在 DesignClass，我们热衷于探索设计如何对人们的生活产生积极影响。3D 打印不仅是加快构建速度的工具，还是一种高效的媒介，能够以可承受的成本实现可持续制造。想想它可以通过哪些方式丰富人们的生活——通过经济适用房、公共场所的凉亭或周末度假的舒适小屋。
 
这是您的挑战：使用 ICON 的 3D 打印机“The Vulcan”设计一个能为人们的生活增添价值的家。提出一个想法，探索 3D 打印的可能性，以实现建筑的突破，设计非常规的形式。
 
本次设计比赛并非由 ICON 赞助。
 
This is your challenge: design a home that adds value to people's lives, using “The Vulcan”, ICON’s 3D Printer.

Brief
With the advent of the internet, we can access all the information in the world within a blink of an eye, in contrast to spending hours long in the library. Do you think that 3D printing can have a similar effect on construction technology? Do you believe that it can be the way forward?
 
In this fast-paced world, 3D printing can completely change the way in which architects design buildings. It opens up endless possibilities in design, at lower costs and swift execution. It is no less than a revolution!
 
At DesignClass we are passionate about exploring how design can have a positive impact on people's lives. 3D printing is not just a tool for faster construction, it is an efficient medium that makes sustainable fabrication possible at affordable costs. Think of the ways it can enrich people’s lives- through affordable housing, pavilions at public spaces, or a cozy cabin for a weekend getaway.
 
This is your challenge: design a home that adds value to people's lives, using “The Vulcan”, ICON’s 3D Printer. Propose an idea that explores the possibilities of 3D printing to achieve a breakthrough in architecture, design unconventional forms.
 
This design competition is not sponsored by ICON.
 
Design guidelines‍
The home's design should be within 2000 square feet with a maximum width of 28 feet, this is Vulcan’s printing capability. It is possible to reposition the printer to build up the home in sections.
The 3D printed design has to be limited to a single story. If you wish to go beyond that, you can use other construction techniques.  
Vulcan is capable of printing walls up to a height of 8.5 feet. It prints a 1” tall and 2” wide bead. The linear horizontal operating speed is 5-7” per second. The material used is Icon's proprietary Lavacrete. Consider these specifications while designing.
Design a form that would otherwise be difficult and tedious  to execute with traditional forms of construction. '
You can choose a site you like- explore various terrains.
