The monolithic wall printed in 3D was then finished&nbsp;internally with a shaving clay-lamina (RH400), smoothed and oiled with&nbsp;linseed oils.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The external casing, completely 3D printed&nbsp;<strong>on-site<\/strong>&nbsp;through the Crane WASP, has been designed&nbsp;with the aim of integrating&nbsp;<strong>natural ventilation<\/strong>&nbsp;systems and&nbsp;<strong>thermo-acoustic insulation<\/strong>&nbsp;systems in&nbsp;only one solution. The deposition of the material based on raw earth, straw and rice husk is&nbsp;controlled through articulated weaves able to confer at the same time&nbsp;<strong>constructive solidity<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>geometric variation<\/strong>&nbsp;along the entire wall development. The versatility of the&nbsp;<strong>computational design<\/strong>&nbsp;is in fact made possible in the construction practice thanks to the precision and speed of the 3D&nbsp;technology, obtaining complex geometries, difficult to replicate with the traditional construction&nbsp;systems. It took 10 days for the realization of the 3d printed casing, for a total of 30 square meters&nbsp;of wall whose thickness is 40 cm and the total cost of the materials used in the wall&nbsp;structure is \u20ac 900.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Possible developments and scenarios<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>On the basis of the data experimented with Gaia, it is possible to concretely conceive new economic&nbsp;scenarios in which one hectare of cultivated paddy field can become 100 square meters of built&nbsp;area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gaia experience offers the opportunity to divulge the multiple potential that 3D printing can&nbsp;express thanks to the world&nbsp;<strong>agricultural resources<\/strong>, guaranteeing&nbsp;a&nbsp;<strong>minimum environmental&nbsp;impact<\/strong>&nbsp;in addition to infinite design solutions, essential in&nbsp;a new living frontier vision.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a
