The Landscape House by Enrico Dini Will Be the First of Its Kind

The Landscape House is set to be the first home built using a 3D printer. Although there have been some exciting and unexpected creations made using this technology, the Landscape House is perhaps one of the more impressive endeavors. Not only is the scale at which it will be built noteworthy, but the looping design, which was inspired by the Möbius strip, makes it quite the sight to see.

Designed by Architect Janjaap Ruijssenaars of Universe Architecture in collaboration with Italian inventor Enrico Dini, the same man who printed a large sculpture out of sand, the Landscape House will take about 18 months to complete. Working with mathematician and artist Rinus Roelofs, it will be printed in sections using the giant D-Shape printer.
