It is understood that the construction company SOM created3D printingThe structure can generate its own power and share energy with supporting vehicles, thereby providing an off-grid living model (+ slide show). Skiingmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) and the U.S. Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (Oak Ridge National Laboratory) collaborated to create the curved pavilion, which the company claims is the largest in the world3D printingPolymer structure. The closed-loop battery system connects it to the Oak Ridge-designed vehicle manufactured using the same technology.
The project was developed as a prototype of the “Additive Manufacturing Integrated Energy (AMIE)” program, which aims to cultivate new ways of thinking about the generation, storage and use of electrical energy. The prototype aims to show how to share energy between buildings and motor vehicles.
It was shown to the public for the first time at the International Builders’ Exhibition held in Las Vegas from January 19 to 21, 2016. The pavilion designed by SOM was built by3D printingPanel composition can be used for multiple purposes. In addition to being used for exterior decoration, these panels can also provide structural support, heat insulation and moisture protection.
According to the design team, this all-in-one approach can reduce construction waste and reduce material usage.The company stated: “SOM and its partners have optimized the structure to reduce the amount of materials used and expressed3D printingThe ability of the technology to deploy complex organic geometries. “
The structure is 38 feet (11.6 meters) long, 12 feet (3.7 meters) high, and 12 feet (3.7 meters) wide. The building envelope contains about 80% opaque panels and 20% glass, thus achieving efficient enclosure. Solar panels are integrated in the roof and power the batteries under the building to power the building at night.3D printingOf vehicles also use hybrid systems to generate their own power.
Both the pavilion and the car share power with each other through a wireless system. In the wireless system, the power is transmitted through an electromagnetic field, and then captured and distributed by the receiving device. The company said: “This project is the first in the3D printingTwo-way wireless energy sharing is realized between the vehicles, the grid and the photovoltaic cells embedded in the structure. “AMIE was created in collaboration with the University of Tennessee and several private companies. The project aims to serve as a model for sustainable urban development.
“The Innovation Alliance is an outstanding example of design, government, science, universities and multiple industry partners working together to break the limits of building technology and high-performance design to solve the world’s most pressing problems in energy and urbanism,” SOM Partners Brian Lee and Philip Enquist said in a statement.
3D printingIt is gradually expanding from objects to houses and infrastructure. Joris Laarman (Joris Laarman) printed a bridge across the Amsterdam canal, the technology was recently used to create a sculptural appearance for the building to host the European Union conference.
Other recent projects undertaken by SOM include a large-scale residential, office and retail development called the West Side of Manhattan, as well as the renovation and expansion of Penn Station in New York. This interdisciplinary company has architecture, engineering and urban design studios.
