Icon's compelling construction approach uses an articulated nozzle to 3D print concrete architecture. Pairing this to integrated mechanical system pods (IMSPs) could improve the total cost & sustainability via modular, all-in-one utilities for green, affordable homes. www.youtube.com/watch?v=orur...
