WHY AI IS CAUSING SUMMER ELECTRICITY BILLS TO SOAR

How this soil-based 3D-printed house was built
The home is located in Yamaga, Kumamoto Prefecture. It was built by Lib Work Co., Arup, and 3D-printing firm WASP. Rather than use cement, the team created a new material from earth, lime, and natural fibers. These ingredients are renewable, widely available, and kind to the environment.
During construction, WASP’s 3D printer layered the soil-based mixture to form the curved walls and ribbed texture. Once the shell was complete, human workers installed the windows, doors, and roof to finish the build.
Inside, the home feels bright and modern. Large windows fill the rooms with natural light, and clean lines enhance the space. The flat roof and textured walls subtly reveal the home’s 3D-printed origins.
WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)?

Off-grid features of this sustainable 3D-printed home
This home isn’t just eco-friendly, it’s also off-grid and fully connected. It uses solar panels and Tesla’s Powerwall battery to power everything from lighting and air conditioning to a smart bath, all of which can be controlled via smartphone or voice command. Sensors embedded in the structure will now monitor its performance over time, tracking everything from insulation to humidity. These insights will help improve future designs and answer big questions about durability.
