The combination of 3D printing technology and concrete has created new structures. Most concrete uses formwork. But when combined with 3D printing technology, we don’t have to use formwork. This can significantly reduce the amount of construction waste. It’s not all about these environmental benefits. There’s also a variety of messages that can be delivered by design.

This planter in front of the library embodies the “eye” in hopes of seeing the world and expanding knowledge through books. Our wishes are expressed not only in form but also in material.

The designers wanted to express creativity, and as a result, they combined 3D printing technology with concrete to create a new planter. In terms of design, the hardness of the concrete and the softness of the curve contrast, but they put it in one piece. Those who look at it will have a complex feeling. It comes to the same experience that we feel when we look at a work of art.
