Architecture 3D Print Albuquerque Affordable Housing New Mexico Technology With the demand of urban housing continuing to increase and becoming more unattainable due to skyrocketing land values within cities, 3D printed architecture could hold the key to producing affordable housing quickly and cheaply without sacrificing design. While 3D printer technology has yet to reach the development required to be implemented at the scale necessary to address this problem, there is substantial evidence that within the foreseeable future it will become a viable solution and even fundamentally change the traditional construction method. Albuquerque, New Mexico has long struggled with affordable housing due to its large population of low-income residents. Within the last couple of years there has been a substantial movement within the city to address the affordable housing crisis, most notably through new mixed-use subsidized apartments in downtown. It is important to note that mixed-use typology has only recently been embraced by the city, whose stringent zoning laws made mixed-use developments impossible until only a few years ago. Using the handful of mixed-use apartments which have been completed so far as precedents, a site, which currently functions as a parking lot, has been selected within the downtown area to analyze how 3D printer construction can be applied to affordable housing. Therefore the project will analyze how 3D printing can be implemented to address issues regarding design, community, and cost, for an affordable housing project in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The project will seek to create a mixed-use apartment complex aimed towards attracting young adults in order to take advantage of a city program known as `Innovate ABQ’ with similar goals. The project will serve as an example of how 3D printed technology can be implemented within cities to address the affordable housing crisis. 2019-07-09 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1554374009132889 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1554374009132889 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: some rights reserved.
