It can be said that building construction in many ways has remained old-fashioned, lagging behind in the use of new technologies. Oxman is reimagining construction with the use of 3D printers, a technology that allows for a different way of making things. She is imagining a world where entire buildings can be built with 3D printers, with new materials and techniques that can reduce the amount of raw material needed while increasing energy and construction efficiency.
