Architect Pitches Builder-Bothering ‘Print Your Own House’ Plan
1st March 2013
WikiHouse, the “print your own open source pad” project, has called for contributors and cash to help it establish an online archive of downloadable dwelling designs.
The site’s aim is nothing short of the democratisation of the construction industry: to allow, in short, “anyone to design, download and ‘print’ CNC-milled houses and components which can be assembled with minimal formal skill or training,” according to British architect and WikiHouse co-founder Alastair Parvin.
