With the continuous development of science and technology, the application of 3D technology in architecture, art and other fields has gradually been widely developed, one after another existing in the computer design has been transformed into reality, and the dream imagination in the minds of those artists has also been realized in the wonderful 3D visual art - this is the romance from science and technology.
3D-Printed Building
3D printed architecture
In the field of architecture, the use of 3D printing technology has been continuously developed and evolved. Unlike the traditional reinforced concrete pouring process, 3D printing requires extremely stringent building materials, not only to have considerable fluidity to adapt to the extrusion of the robotic arm, but also to rapidly form and meet a series of building standards.
The 3D printed construction projects that currently exist around the world are not only low-carbon and environmentally friendly, but also another opportunity to open up the architectural dreams of ordinary people.

The world's first 3D printed hotel
Kisawa Sanctuary
Founder: Nina Flohr
Kisawa Sanctuary, a wild luxury resort that opened in Mozambique in April 2021, was built with 3D printing technology in order to minimize the impact on the surrounding natural environment. From the building to some indoor objects, the architect uses the computer to transmit the design drawings to the 3D printer, and then uses local mortar as raw materials to build layered from the bottom through the nozzle.
The hotel's founder is Nian Flohr, the new Greek princess and the only daughter of billionaires. The hotel has only 12 rooms, each of which also includes surrounding 4000 square meters of land with a private beachfront and swimming pool with open deck space, outdoor kitchen and other facilities. The exterior of the building is made of layers of spiral thatched roof, which is full of wild luxury.

The world's first all-growing 3D printed home
KEY
Architects: MCA, WASP
TECLA was the world's first building 3D printed from raw clay, completed by Mario Cucinella Architects and WASP founder Massimo Moretti. Located in Massalongbad, Italy, the project consists of two connected spherical buildings with an façade stacked on top of 350 layers of 3D printed clay. The undulating façade of clay not only improves the structural stability of the house, but also acts as an insulating force.

The house prototype was built by a multi-stage modular 3D printer. The printer has 2 print arms, each with a print area of 50 square meters, which can meet the needs of simultaneous printing. By using this technology, housing modules can be built in 200 hours while consuming an average of 6 kilowatts of energy, reducing construction waste almost entirely, and effectively addressing global climate problems. Some of the furniture inside is also made of 3D printing.

Couples utopia under covid-19
Covid Home
Architect: Emerging Objects
Casa Covida is a Colorado experimental cabin made from 3D printed adobe from American studio Emerald Objects. The adobe walls of the house are made of sand, silt, clay and water, printed with a three-axis SCARA (Selective Softening Joint Robotic Arm) and then dried and hardened in the sun. This robot printer is lightweight, can be carried by two people, and only needs one person to operate with a mobile phone.
A wooden door in the center of the cottage leads to an open space with two earthen benches called tarima and an open fireplace for cooking and keeping warm on cold nights. If it rains or snows, you can build an inflatable pink roof or keep the heat from the fire source when needed. The colourful inflatable roof makes the cabin look like a blooming cactus.
3D Visual Art
3D Art Design
In the field of art and design, artists and designers have created one fantasy architectural and home scene after another through 3D rendering technology such as CGI. In the future, with the further development of virtual reality augmentation technology, we may all be able to wear VR glasses and experience these imaginative and bizarre fantasies!
Imaginary 3D architectural wonders
Studio: Color C Design studio
As a 3D artist and designer, Alexis Christodoulou from Cape Town, South Africa, has created a series of virtual reality-focused architectural works over the past 10 years. He specializes in 3D illustration and animation and is always trying to explore the world of furniture and object design.
In his initial renderings, his colors were actually very saturated, but in post-production, he experimented with a sense of lightness by reducing saturation. As a frontrunner in imaginary architectural aesthetics around the world, the studio has partnered with brands such as Microsoft, Facebook, Instagram, La Mer, Wallpaper, Kenzo and more.
A minimalist future for home spaces
Studio: Six N. Five
Design studio Six N. Five from Barcelona, Spain, focuses on simple modern aesthetics such as still life vision, video, and set design, connecting art and design through minimalist, surreal creations for creative spatial depiction and artistic expression.
Ezequiel Pini, one of the studio's founders, believes that the COVID-19 pandemic is forcing digital evolution to grow exponentially. "It's not just because tasks and operations have to be solved digitally, but also because people can find leisure and fun by staying at home." Exhibitions, galleries, museums and concerts can no longer be the experience of the past..."
Room with a view
Designer: Charlotte Taylor
London-based artist and designer Charlotte Taylor, founder of 3D imaging studio Maison de Sable and creative director of interdisciplinary practice firm dellostudio, excels at expressing spiritual architectural spaces in modernist renderings.
In these fictional futuristic and homely scene designs, Charlotte Taylor integrates his childhood obsession with LEGO toys into design creation, creating one dream home after another through changeable colors and playful furnishings.
The wide application of 3D technology not only promotes the innovation of new materials, new processes, low-carbon environmental protection and other subdivisions, but also opens the door to the design field.
From imagination to vision, and from virtual to reality, 3D technology will undoubtedly build a bridge for us to "dream into reality".
