Not sure if I'd call it a house. Looks more like a vacation home. Also wonder what the acoustics are inside.

Cucinella’s practice which is focused on “humane” architecture, a crossover of low and high tech worlds.

Translation: “made up bullshit that doesn’t actually mean a goddamn thing and which serves solely to destroy Western society and objective standards of beauty.”

The aesthetics of this house

It has none. It looks like a pork dumpling.

a beautiful, healthy, and sustainable home

No, no, and no, respectively.

The shape and the external ridges also enable the structural balance of the house.

No, they don’t.

The building is made from 350 12mm layers, and 60 cubic metres of natural materials for an average consumption of less than 6kW.

Wait, it only took 6 fucking kilowatts to run the machine to build this thing? He needs to stop everything he’s doing (because he’s totally shit at it) and focus EXCLUSIVELY on this. This is a goddamn revolution. You get THAT sort of energy savings from building a real house (you know, something that a human being would want to inhabit) and you’ll be a billionaire. That’s the sort of thing that Musk needs to be doing. This guy is going to squander the potential of this tech.

The result is underwhelming, but the general tech to 'print' houses is pretty cool and like normal 3D printing pretty much all the shapes are possible.

Oh, sure. I’m fiercely curious about 3D printing houses, particularly out of meaningful materials like a pseudoconcrete, not this dirt that can’t stand up to a tornado. Being able to 3D print insulating pockets of a tough material at personal house scales will be an absolute revolution.
