It is called Gaia and it is a case history of construction printed in 3D through the new Crane WASP technology with natural materials from the surrounding area and supplied by RiceHouse (Italian startup that operates in the field of green building). Gaia, using raw earth as the main binder of the constituent mixture, has all the characteristics to be considered a new eco-sustainable architectural model, because it uses natural waste materials from the rice production chain.

 

These products are used to erect particularly efficient masonry from the bioclimatic point of view and to the healthiness of the environments. "What attracts our attention, - explains Roberto Rescia, CEO of CoverHat - in addition to the zero impact of the structure, is mainly the external casing completely printed in 3D and designed with the aim of integrating the systems of plant engineering, thermos-acoustic insulation and natural ventilation. An example of value for our "Archidress" section, constantly looking for performing innovations, that combine textile architecture, sustainability and performance". Performance that in Gaia achieves its maximum expression: printed in a few weeks thanks to its masonry, the "house of the future" does not need either heating or an air conditioning system and manages to keep inside it a comfortable temperature in every season.
