3D-FESTIVAL BEYOND
KARLSRUHE. GERMANY

Synopsis presentation:

The Landscape House came into being by asking a fundamental question: Can building be like Landscape?
It can if the building is continuous, without beginning or ending, like planet earth.
The presentation by Janjaap Ruijssenaars will chronologically show the process that followed to find the answer to that.
A new construction technique, that of 3D printing, proved to be the most elegant and appropriate in constructing Landscape House.
