We lived and raised in such house's in Turkey Mersin area before nearly 50 years as settlers from Syria. These house's was made of clay, bambu and hay.

I remember how we children help to mix the hay in the mud with our feet. And I remember very well that we often do not need a stove in winter.

that is a great way to do.things. Sadly in.most western countries the planners and construction companies will make it impossible to build these 3d homes. I would love to do it as whilst doing by hand is rewarding few of us have the time so this is a feasible option.
@@jsc2606 There are lots of experiments in Europe, where zoning laws leave more room for innovation. It's just not working as this channel claims. It's not a solution for urban housing shortages or an alternative for slum dwellers.
The cost most certainly isn't $900. Transporting printer to the location will probably cost more. Let's not even go into the foundation that was there, doors, windows, excavating and preparing the clay mixture, plumbing, electric work, etc ... and yeah, the land itself. You can make cheap walls from just about any material. But walls are just just a small part building a house. That being said, it's a very cool looking mud hut. I like it.
In poor countries there is often plenty of land. The government can give it away for free. It doesn't have many windows and no indoor plumbing. This is a home for very poor people. The cost of the printer is handled by the builder not home buyers. A government can buy the printing materials.
@@GizmoMaltese Still $900 is a lie, nothing else, or let me put it differently, a big PR bluff. But would still be cool, if its around a couple of thousand bucks.
You have a point. But the main of the video is talk about how sustainable this is, cquse you can use mud who is everywhere to construct. Of course a 900 USD house is not possible with actual tech, but it is a way, and a very sustainable and resourceless* one
This used to be the main building material in hot areas for thousands of years. Cities like Yazd in Iran still rely on these thick walls and dome-shaped roofs to keep the heat outside. to be able to print them unlocks so many new possibilities. And, I should mention that the ones made in Italy just look gorgeous.
Pretty cool. Although you could build your own mud house using your own sweat equity and simple tools. I'm pretty sure people have done this for thousands of years already. The problem is owning the land and dealing with building codes in modern times.
There's150-year-old houses in New Harmony Indiana that have straw and mud insulation. You can take a tour of a few of them and some are still being lived in, or at least they were when I saw them last.
Building codes are a joke.only wood houses burn,blow down , carry vermin and mold in the walls.the only codes there needs to be is against wood construction. Instead we've let neighborhood associations mandate tickets tac houses with the integrity of a shoebox while they clear cut the forest to provide expensive inferior building materials. It's capitalism at its ugliest
@@TheLarinator There are whole neighborhoods full of houses in Indiana that will cost less than the construction of these clay homes. Habitable? Try and find out! I'll be! My name is Mud.
There are just too many good ideas out there that never take off because people are too afraid to try new things. Yet at the same time, I see bad products take off and continue to flourish that are propped up with lies.
You probably know how nasty demandful those women ☕ for their men to have proper house at least more than 500k$ (especially murica) And for us men with low income it's definitely choke us into death with their high standard
@@ugwuanyicollins6136 for real! There's a growing movement in the US that recognizes we need to do it the clay way, and we're learning from cultures that do. We had it wrong over here!
I could give a long winded answer, but I live in a very nice home. I would give it up in a minute if a printed clay home like this could approach passive house standards in my community and make it possible for others to afford owning their own homes..
I bet local counsels in Sydney would never let one build a house like this. Regardless that this construction process has a very low carbon foot print, is thermally very sound and really, really cheap.
In Central California, there is one of the few adobe homes allowed in the state because of earthquake faults. I spent a very pleasant afternoon visiting the family residing there. The home was unbelievably quiet, cool (it was warm out) and well constructed. Can you imagine how much money the County of Los Angeles would save building 10, 20, or 50 thousand of these to house the homeless. What is now a multi-billion dollar problem could be solved for less than one hundred million dollars. Time to change the world. Let's start in America...
As if 25 or 35 tons of mixed clay and other materials just magically transport, mix and feed themselves into a 3D printer. What about the back-breaking labor of shoveling, mixing and moving tons of clay, water, binder from the clay/water/binder places to the house place? The mass of a lumber/stucco/plaster house is a fraction of the weight and bulk of this "$900" house. So transportation and material hauling and handling costs bring the final house cost to MORE than a conventional house, especially if both houses have the same square footage, floor plan and utilities. If there is some trick here to give poor people homes, it is based on 1) local materials, 2) Slave labor. 3) some taxpayers or charities paying for cranes, crane rentals, large scale 3D printers, skilled tradesmen to install utilities, a bunch of trucks, designers, supervisors, so $900 worth of clay, how much for the pipes, wiring, flooring, skylights, fixtures, doors etc? By the way, those interior walls look very rough, scratchy, prone to collect dust and harbor insects. Maybe we need a plaster coat?
The Sumerian style of houses was founded 7000 years ago and still exists in the south of Iraq. Some people are living in the marshes, still making them using the same mixture.
Clay has been used forever, and im sure current day engineers could think of an even better way to utilize it, but government , not to mention general idiots will get in the way. Remember there is big time money in a handful of houing developers owning the rights to produce homes. And how does government work? On campaign bribes, i mean donations.
Love to try this one out 😀 Definitely going to look into this. Maybe a nice idea for a next house in France. Land doesn't cost much, and would be fun to live in a house like that. If it works I already know some friends to help out with this as well.
@@HouseJawn nope doesn't, lot of places where you can buy building ground between 1 and 10 euro a m2. Friends of my life there and next to there houses are 3 plots of land available for construction for €3,= /m2 the plots vary from 1000 to 2000m2 so maximum 6k for land. I don't think that is a lot of money. If you than can build something with this machine that would be extremely cheap living. So there I was looking for a house there in the 400k range, I now first going to explore the options with this. I just noticed that the starting price is €132000,= for the machine (50m2). So the total cost of a 100m2 house will still be 200k. So then you need to find a business model to make this work. Or invest in a machine with friends otherwise it still will be a expensive house. Nowhere near the 900 euro mark
They should build one north, central and south on the east coast and the same central and western coast of the US have volunteers to live in them for 5 years and observe if there are any problems
That's a possibility, but it's more likely that developers and builders will not have the hold they currently do in any area where this type of construction is allowed because of the low costs. There are already cities in the USA that plan out new sections and install the basics in the hope of attracting families to live there, plus there are other cities that have hundreds of blocks of existent infrastructure, but no longer have any houses. The balance will tip toward the family and the individual as long as the Blackrocks of the world are restricted from participating.
In several locations it probably falls under the adobe building code. I knew someone in Stephenville that built an addition and covered porch around a mobile home using papercrete. It was under the adobe code. Cob and earhbag are probably too.
I am intrigued because Texas has a large un-sheltered population. Clay houses or huts for unsheltered people- then teaching them how to build the homes, gaining employment, and get back on their feet-- Dear WASP 🐝- imagine a committee of masons we builders donating a percentage towards tools and supplies to build communities that inspire change and a healthier economy. InnTexas a middle class family is one natural disaster away from losing their home.
an excellent solution for all humanity, not only for the low income. Let me explain something. Clay is a versatile material that has been used for thousands of years in various applications, including building houses. Clay has several health benefits for humans, as it can filter water, clear the air, and insulate high temperatures from reaching inside the house. Additionally, when mixed with natural fiber materials like tree leaves, soil, and stones, it can become a great and solid material for building modern healthy houses that are safe and cost-effective for everyone to use. This makes clay an ideal choice for sustainable and eco-friendly construction, as it can help reduce environmental impact and improve the health and wellbeing of the occupants. Overall, clay is a valuable material that can be used in a variety of ways to support healthy living and sustainable building practices. and by using Skydome glass windows, the nature light will immerge into the house and will limit the use of electricity most of the day. at the same time, adding some small opening in the house walls as small windows will give the house a wonderful airflow that will automatically Air-condition the whole house without using air conditions most of the time. Did I mention that clay in winter time becomes like a heat radiator, that brings heat from outside and keeps it inside without over heating! it is a marvelous material should be used always by the mentioned method in this video for building houses, kiosks...etc. Thanks.
Not really a solution for the millions and millions of people who live in tropical places were it rains frequently like in the Caribbean region. It will not survive a strong thunder shower.
This is such a awesome idea for the homeless. I'm wondering if you could use upgraded materials like a hemp brick sludge. Question is how sturdy and weather proof could you make it for green homes. I've seen portable solar panel heating and cooling systems already at 1,000 US. Love the idea of building your own home or a whole neigherhood?
I live in an area where houses today are still build with adobe( mud/ straw sun baked blocks) and we cover those with a lime rendered simple stucco and a metal or clay roof and they are perfectly waterproof - just need to keep the stucco up and in good condition.
Humans have been creating houses out of the mud for centuries. It was awesome, because when the house disintegrated it was all part of the Earth anyway! I am glad to know that our future will go back to the past and we can use the elements provided to us by God! I am glad to know that our resources will go back to the Earth! It's about time! My relatives built their whole house out of mud bricks called Adobe. I am proud to say that our whole family got together to help one family to build an adobe fence around her house. It was fun to watch all the families get together and "play" in the mud, even the children were helping! We placed paper messages within the wall. It was awesome!
In India we mix some percentage of cement with clay , clay is not washed by rain water. Only problem is clay will get washed away with rain. Use rubber tyres at the base to give good hight for protection from rain water and use square walls with other rain proof material . Jay bharat.
$900$ what about labor costs? And the machine cots more than that? How much was the land cost? What about water, electricity? Sewage costs? And the finished product is bizarre looking. Just a big round room.
Safety. I see the comments that seem to indicate people think that these houses are clay. They are no more clay than a concrete house is lime. Once that binding resin is in the mix, the material is a vast improvement over the material in the ancient methods -- and the ancient methods were really good. I suspect that because of the resin, these structures are way more resistant to earthquakes and rainy weather than cob -- or stick. Resource husbandry. Don't you find it reassuring that other materials are not required at anywhere near the same level as a stick house? Wood, for starters. But also minimal roofing.
I think ICON’s concrete houses have a better chance of being dominant in the future in modern economies but the clay houses certainly are promising for “developing” countries.
That sounds lovely. I would love to purchase a house for only $900.00. That would be affordable housing for everyone. It would be nice if poor people could live in such a wonderful place instead of the horrible boxes they call apartments today. Sadly I live in America and I bet our cruel politicians will use all their power to stop such a positive plan. I am sadly too old to try such a wonderful thing since we are talking 2030. If it were today I would ask how can I begin to purchase such a lovely place?
So it took 200 hours to build it, but it costs 900. So the rental of this high-tech printer and labour of skilled technicians costed only 4.5 per hour? Amazing!
Reviewing historical architectures of various cities and residential architecture through the last 50-100 years I believe that the clay composite waterproof and multiple material houses (some shown here) are the main future architecture trend that can be manufactured and sustained all over the planet in hot and warm environments where elevated flat lands (2-300 ft. above sea level and above) are common and mountain ranges are far away but reasonably easy to reach. The costs and technology and style of the clay 3d composite material printed houses allow for additional affordable electrical, solar, wind and hydroelectric and hydrogen energy sources and HVAC engineering to be built maintained and sustained with nominal human and machine efforts as well as new constructions of diverted freshwater rivers and traditional manmade dams, reservoirs and working sewage treatment and power plants that exist far away from the main neighborhoods and cities where this new technology can be used. The houses would be designed to be structurally stable through storms hurricanes fires and lightning and are ecologically sound, environmentally friendly and easy to rebuild and repair, theoretically. Increased affordable housing units for future generations of humans in a changed climate environment and possible economies of the late 21st early 22nd centuries on Earth could produce liveable-and wholesome -results with the new tech. May God through Jesus Christ bless you and sustain your architectural designs and building efforts through time and circumstances for the greater glory of God's kingdom on Earth😊c
I believe there are applications to this technology and hope it will evolve. We certainly need better techniques and more sustainable materials in constructions. The durability of such houses needs to be tested over time. Also, they certainly can't yet be used in areas prone to natural harshness/disaster (tornados, hurricanes, etc).
The cost to build is NOT the problem, in places like California, where housing costs are out of control. Capitalism is to blame for skyrocketing cost of housing, not builders or government. Investors buy up all the properties and then resell them. And they can sell for whatever they want, if they own a large percentage of the market, which is exactly what BLACKROCK and a few other massive investment corporations do. So maybe you can "make" the house for $900. but the property is "worth" insane amounts of money if the "market" dominated by these corporations wants to buy it, they set the price.
no young couples can buy a "starter" home, because they always get out bid by some speculator, who remodels the "starter" home into some half million dollar mini mansion. and these investment companies have more money than anyone else on the planet, so they always win, when they want to.
Too bad so many counties in America are locked up in construction codes. It will take some successful legal challenges to make this happen in the USA. I would imagine acceptance of the resins is the key to making sceptics understand that this is safe. HOAs and realtors are a separate story, but we are getting to the point where their objections will be bulldozed.
There is an ongoing trend for urbanisation, and this is not viable because there is no land. It would be viable in new settlements that are popping up everywhere.
I wonder what the binding agent is. rammed earth is a simple process, one that lends itself very well to self-building (under supervision). the technology shown here is just another expression of the technofix mindset of consumerist society. a key solution to a healthier, sustainable society, is local people being empowered to run their own affairs, including building their own homes.
This will not work at all in the tropics where it rains frequently. Colappsse of a clay structure is certain. Would only work in an arid or desertic place.
Because thats exactly what you found? What were you expecting it to be? This is about 3d printing, i'd imagine the resin is to create various molds / tools for the construction and / or the binding agent for the clay

This is how uncle Owen and aunt Beru built their home under the twin suns of Tatooine.
You can't get a permit for such houses because the agencies that give permits haven't addressed these structures/technologies... Unless I'm wrong.
As long as you can get an engineer to stamp the structural part of it, you SHOULD be ok.

That is an AMAZING concept in structural simplicity. Thank You for sharing. Greetings from Ontario, Canada.
A glass round roof is so romantic. But it would cost a fortune.
there is a reason that modular blocks/tiles/beams are used, fast to assemble, both at site build-up and on a serial manufacturing line
man, just make tiles/blocks to a easily combinable shape
that 3d printer costs more than the house, give molds not the 3d printer
well if you rent/hold the 3d printer hostage, no, do your own block houses
if you suggest something, make sure all the parts are easy/practical to implement by the builder, otherwise you are a burden, not a true actual help

Nadir Khalili would build a fire inside his clay buildings to turn them into ceramic.
amazing i love it!
crazy. Is the binding agent hydrated lime?
Photocurable resins. 3:57
@@TheLarinator - gotcha, thanks
@@TheLarinator wow I have a cousin with your name
@@cheagle464 I've met one. Years ago the local JC Penneys called me to do some work for them. I showed up and the guy that met me was Larry Hoffman.
$900$ what about labor costs? And the machine cots more than that? How much was the land cost? What about water, electricity? Sewage costs? And the finished product is bizarre looking. Just a big round room.
Clay houses are not new and they are stronger when made traditionalaly😊
What about the homeless in America! ?
What about all of us?
Safety. I see the comments that seem to indicate people think that these houses are clay. They are no more clay than a concrete house is lime. Once that binding resin is in the mix, the material is a vast improvement over the material in the ancient methods -- and the ancient methods were really good. I suspect that because of the resin, these structures are way more resistant to earthquakes and rainy weather than cob -- or stick.
Resource husbandry. Don't you find it reassuring that other materials are not required at anywhere near the same level as a stick house? Wood, for starters. But also minimal roofing.
I’m interested for a large scale project who can I get in contact with?
I think ICON’s concrete houses have a better chance of being dominant in the future in modern economies but the clay houses certainly are promising for “developing” countries.
Where's the links to buying this stuff?
I would buy one for sure
That sounds lovely. I would love to purchase a house for only $900.00. That would be affordable housing for everyone. It would be nice if poor people could live in such a wonderful place instead of the horrible boxes they call apartments today. Sadly I live in America and I bet our cruel politicians will use all their power to stop such a positive plan. I am sadly too old to try such a wonderful thing since we are talking 2030. If it were today I would ask how can I begin to purchase such a lovely place?
So it took 200 hours to build it, but it costs 900. So the rental of this high-tech printer and labour of skilled technicians costed only 4.5 per hour? Amazing!
This is the way!
For me it needs windows, larger indoor passage ways, triple the square footage. I like the first larger room second room to small, for me to live in.
This is really amazing!! 🎉
$900 to build. $900k in permits.
How resistant is it ?
What is the binding agent - cement?
Clay
A mixed technical adaptation of existing traditional brick / stone interlaid will shorten the building time!
Reviewing historical architectures of various cities and residential architecture through the last 50-100 years I believe that the clay composite waterproof and multiple material houses (some shown here) are the main future architecture trend that can be manufactured and sustained all over the planet in hot and warm environments where elevated flat lands (2-300 ft. above sea level and above) are common and mountain ranges are far away but reasonably easy to reach. The costs and technology and style of the clay 3d composite material printed houses allow for additional affordable electrical, solar, wind and hydroelectric and hydrogen energy sources and HVAC engineering to be built maintained and sustained with nominal human and machine efforts as well as new constructions of diverted freshwater rivers and traditional manmade dams, reservoirs and working sewage treatment and power plants that exist far away from the main neighborhoods and cities where this new technology can be used. The houses would be designed to be structurally stable through storms hurricanes fires and lightning and are ecologically sound, environmentally friendly and easy to rebuild and repair, theoretically.
Increased affordable housing units for future generations of humans in a changed climate environment and possible economies of the late 21st early 22nd centuries on Earth could produce liveable-and wholesome -results with the new tech. May God through Jesus Christ bless you and sustain your architectural designs and building efforts through time and circumstances for the greater glory of God's kingdom on Earth😊c
I believe there are applications to this technology and hope it will evolve. We certainly need better techniques and more sustainable materials in constructions. The durability of such houses needs to be tested over time. Also, they certainly can't yet be used in areas prone to natural harshness/disaster (tornados, hurricanes, etc).
All great & fine. What about annual & dam released water flood-prone localities? will this method work?
looks like a bee hive Kewl!
How do they harden the clay so rain doesn't just wash it away?
The cost to build is NOT the problem, in places like California, where housing costs are out of control. Capitalism is to blame for skyrocketing cost of housing, not builders or government. Investors buy up all the properties and then resell them. And they can sell for whatever they want, if they own a large percentage of the market, which is exactly what BLACKROCK and a few other massive investment corporations do. So maybe you can "make" the house for $900. but the property is "worth" insane amounts of money if the "market" dominated by these corporations wants to buy it, they set the price.
no young couples can buy a "starter" home, because they always get out bid by some speculator, who remodels the "starter" home into some half million dollar mini mansion. and these investment companies have more money than anyone else on the planet, so they always win, when they want to.
Too bad so many counties in America are locked up in construction codes. It will take some successful legal challenges to make this happen in the USA. I would imagine acceptance of the resins is the key to making sceptics understand that this is safe. HOAs and realtors are a separate story, but we are getting to the point where their objections will be bulldozed.
What a super concept I wonder how well this will be viewed by the WEF 15 minute city crew?
There is an ongoing trend for urbanisation, and this is not viable because there is no land. It would be viable in new settlements that are popping up everywhere.
How much are the kits?
using onsite clay, sand water, dirt? a lil concrete, smaller houses and perhaps Human assited 3d prints could be $900. ? i hope
Great
Oh I want one
Sorry to double post but I forgot to ask an important question. Can these be built in a cold climate such as upstate NY?
depends on how much strength is added to clay with that 5% binding thing to survive heavy rains for example
I wish they apply it in Pakistan
Очень класс
I wonder what the binding agent is.
rammed earth is a simple process, one that lends itself very well to self-building (under supervision). the technology shown here is just another expression of the technofix mindset of consumerist society. a key solution to a healthier, sustainable society, is local people being empowered to run their own affairs, including building their own homes.
I want one.... how do I get the kit?
This will not work at all in the tropics where it rains frequently. Colappsse of a clay structure is certain. Would only work in an arid or desertic place.
👍👍
Who would want to live in such an atrocity? Homeless people?
First world solution to a third world problem.
We can easily use 3D printers on mars and make cheap stuff out of materials there . Or print it in a cave would be best
Yea people have been making clay houses in the global south since time memoriam....
This looks like what Kanye West was working on .....
Nobody can print a house for $900 unless the printer and labor are free.
💚
I don't know about clay.. but 3d printed houses yes
THAT ONE IS OFF ANGLE AND LOOKS LIKE IT IS FALLING OVER...
I googled photocurable resins, and the only thing I could find is the stuff used in plastic 3d printing.
Because thats exactly what you found? What were you expecting it to be? This is about 3d printing, i'd imagine the resin is to create various molds / tools for the construction and / or the binding agent for the clay
Can these be built on a basement?
Back to hut life
Hut are cool, literally you don't need AC
