Thanks for sharing! Some of my colleagues are working extensively in the same space (additive mfg/3D printing homes/structures with locally sourced materials), but in a totally different climatic context (desert, sand/earthen construction rather than bio materials), so it’s cool to see this sort of approach taken in a different material! One of the cool parts about the earthen construction via additive processes in conjunction with high diurnal temperature swings is that there is a lot of room for creativity in shaping the structure to promote thermal mass-based temperature control (possibly supplemented with fans to promote more heat transfer), along with other interesting thermodynamic possibilities (eg cavities for insulation, or some natural ventilation pre-conditioning through heat exchange along channels in the thermally massive walls). It seems like the pre-fab part of this home is a big part of its potential impact in as much as it indicates a much greater potential for scalability.
