UC Berkeley unveils first-of-its-kind 3-D-printed cement structure

A UC Berkeley research team led by Ronald Rael, associate professor of architecture, developed the first and largest powder-based 3-D-printed cement structure built to date. According to Rael, they “are mixing polymers with cement and fibers to produce very strong, lightweight, high-resolution parts on readily available equipment; it’s a very precise, yet frugal technique.”

The freestanding pavilion, “Bloom,” is 9 feet high and has a footprint that measures about 12 feet by 12 feet. It is composed of 840 customized blocks that were 3-D-printed using a new type of iron oxide-free Portland cement polymer formulation developed by Rael.

Protected Intersections For Bicyclists

…Excellent illustration of next generation bicycle infrastructure. Some examples of this exist in the Netherlands (and to a lesser degree Denmark), but regardless of the city, we need to be planning our streets for the next 50 years today. That means appropriately forward thinking infrastructure, not just the bare minimum expected at the moment.
