It is not the aviation industry but actually the construction industry that contributes to the global greenhouse gas emissions. The difference is 2% vs 39%. Indeed, cement alone is responsible for 8% of global greenhouse gas emissions.
Mario Cucinella Architects and WASP decided to do something about it and designed TECLA- a completely 3D printed global habitat based on natural materials.
TECLA’s construction started as a prototype in 2019 near Bologna. Italy as a response to pressing societal issues of explosive population growth which inevitably led to a lack of affordable accommodation. TECLA is created using entirely reusable , recyclable materials taken from the local terrain- it aims to be a model for circular housing as well as eco-housing. The Habitat has been designed by Mario Coccinelli architects and brought to life by WASP’s engineering and printing tech.
