The facade of this building in Amsterdam's marine area is a large-scale bioplastics 3D printed work. The building is located in the building yard and used to be a sailing system. The facade modeling refers to this. The niche covers the blue 3D printed stool below, providing shelter for people. Printed patterns are large, small and round, representing the unity and diversity of EU countries. At night, the "sail" is gradually lit by pulse lights.
After parametric design, each seat fits perfectly with the niche. The manufacturer of this building, a super-large 3D printer located in Cannal House, Amsterdam, can print 2x3.5m components. The material used for printing is a special bioplastic, and the surface is covered with a layer of colored concrete. This material can be decomposed and reused for printing after rotation. It is the first time that such a super-large 3D printed work has appeared in the field of public buildings.
