Timber construction is amongst the industries most impacted <\/em><\/a>by the push towards AI and automation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report published by Goldman Sachs<\/em><\/a>, the construction industry has 20% exposure to automation and AI replacement \u2013 including 3D printing <\/em><\/a>and robotics<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, a Detroit architect and Citizen Robotics<\/a> have joined forces to create a 3D-printed home, which they hope can be scaled up to produce quick, cost-effective, high-volume housing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Debuting at the Month of Design, the 300-square-metre cottage “reimagines the traditional stick-built construction system’ in what Citizen Robotics said “could be the future for affordable housing.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The walls include a demountable timber frame, which can removed after the walls are tested for load-bearing capacity, with the roof featuring sustainable foam panels and mass timber products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
