Desert Ark: The First 3D-Printed Concrete Structure in the Chinese Desert
Desert Ark, a collection of 3D-printed structures by designRESERVE, is located in the Chinese desert to provide shelter.
The Chinese architecture studio designRESERVE presents Desert Ark, a series of 3D-printed modules installed in the Tengger Desert in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region of China.
These small shelters were designed for volunteers planting trees and reforesting this arid part of the country, covering a total area of 150 square meters.
