Top 20 innovative building technologies

Modern innovative construction technologies, striking the imagination with their originality, use both the achievements of the latest scientific research and the invaluable experience of their ancestors.

Let's start with the most common building material - wood. It would seem that there’s nothing come up anymore? But the modern innovative technologies come to the rescue.

1. Technology of construction of domed houses without nails, Vladivostok, Russia.

Scientists of the Far Eastern Federal University create modern wooden houses and domes. At the same time, as in the good old days of Russian architects, without a single nail. Their uniqueness lies in the application of new designs of locks between separate parts of a wooden spherical frame. The wooden dome house is created in record time. Literally in a matter of hours, the frame of an unusual house grows. Today this technology is to test in several cities of Russia. Between the links are joined with a special lock, which takes all the load - vertical, side and so on. Parts are made with such precision like a “Lego” constructor is obtained. Anyone with such a kit with a small assembly instructions, can mount this design independently. At one of the recreation centers of the Primorsky Territory, the dome of „Snowball” express café, built by scientists, is already operating, which is very popular, attracting visitors with an unusual form. The second domed house is much larger - it is a two-story twelve-meter structure with an area of 195 m

2. Houses from trash will be printed on a 3D printer, Nantong, Jiangsu Province, PRC

Chinese architects invented a way to build cheap houses. Their secret is in a huge 3D printer that literally prints real estate. And this would not be anything unusual - the technology of "printing" buildings are already known. But the fact is that Chinese houses will be made of construction waste. Thus, the specialists of the architectural company Winsun intend to solve two problems at once. In addition to creating low-cost homes, the project will give a second life to construction debris and industrial waste - from this, houses are created. The giant printer has really impressive dimensions - 150 x 10 x 6 meters. The device is quite powerful and can print up to 10 houses per day. The cost of each of them is not more than 5 thousand dollars. A huge machine builds an external structure, and the internal partitions are mounted later by hand. With the help of 3D printing technology in the Middle Kingdom people hope to solve the urgent problem of affordable housing. Soon several hundreds of factories will appear in the country, where they will make consumables for a gigantic printer from construction waste.
