Stone Spray Project
Architects Petr Novikov, Inder Shergill and Anna Kulik have created a 3D printing robot which is capable of building structures out of soil. This robot uses organic materials and was intended to explore a new way of creating architecture out of soil.
The researchers at the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia, have created the robot to use a jet spray system to deliver a mixture of soil or sand and an eco-friendly liquid binder to a surface, building solid architectures that don't crumble when the wind picks up.
Fitting with the project's aims to remain environmentally friendly, the robot uses very little energy and can run entirely on solar power. To see it in action, check out the video here.
