I think this is probably the way to go. You can now print a house.
Thanks for posting that. That was fun to watch. It's a good idea but I wouldn't build that sort of house in an earthquake zone. I wouldn't want to live in an earthquake zone, but for the rest of us, notice at the end he says the one thing which is most important. It is cheaper. You get the same house but for less money, and what is more it is stronger. It's all material science theory, but a continuous solid is much stronger than joining bits of it together. There is another big advantage as well. You can print stuff which is impossible to do with brick. I saw someone create a classic bit of French architecture which originally would be carved stone and extremely expensive, as per circa 18c. It was a bit rough close-up, but standing back from it did make it look very grand and impressive. All you need is the right file and it will print.

TBH they are not great for storage either. Great for keeping things dry and secure but inefficient for space. One you fill them up you can't get the stuff at the back out. So you have to leave about 2'' clear down one side so you have room to get at everything and extract what you want. Great for transporting things where you can fill them to the brim but for storage where you need to get things in or out pretty rubbish. The far container has marquees in it and it is a real faff for the guy to get things in and out. I think one of the main drawback using containers is they become ovens in summer, freezers in winter … and have no porosity where moisture can leak out … NO VENTILATION … so pockets of mould develop … Materials that appear dry irradiate water vapour as the temp rises … and marquee canvasses will likely smell musty and mouldy after a couple of seasons stored in an ‘incubator’. … air con and a dehumidifier working 24/7, 365 might help. 👍 Expensive? … and vent holes (cheaper) drilled under the thatched eaves should whisk away some moisture driven out of objects stored on oven days.
