Good news!
"What's being hailed as the world's tallest 3D-printed building is being readied for assembly in a remote Swiss village. The White Tower from researchers at ETH Zurich will be formed from over a hundred columns, with a performance space sat on top."
"... Tor Alva demonstrates the groundbreaking possibilities of computational design and digital fabrication, which will fundamentally change conventional buildings in the years to come. Using robotic concrete extrusion processes, the concrete can be applied specifically only where needed, reducing material consumption by half. The process no longer requires any formwork. Eliminating the need for formwork offers new degrees of design freedom regarding expressive shapes, surface detailing, and hollow features. It also allows for one-of-a-kind production. Investigating concepts of circularity and reuse, the tower will be constructed with disassembly in mind to be rebuilt at another location. ..."
