Pretty terrible. The reason this is ultimately so expensive and isnt catching on like you might expect, is because like the monolithic dome fad, you still end up doing traditional construction inside, to hold it up and create livable spaces. All they're really doing here, is creating a shell; like bricking the exterior of a house.

@rykerhasyounow We'll see. It certainly has applications, but right now I think they're trying too hard to make the technique into something its not and playing on the novelty. What I think would be a good application, is printed rapid assembly modules that could be constructed offsite or near-site and transported. Use some type of recyclables and it could be an excellent solution to emergency response. Like print up a paper mache or mud 'wasp nest' apartment complex for temporary housing, or as a compound for relief operations. Combination with other non-traditional building materials and techniques, could offer a lot of flexibility. I was super into the 'foam home' concepts, as a jugend and that seem like an interesting potential.
