Join this two-part competition:
CAD interior/exterior of the 3D home and Artistic Expression of the community
This competition marks the beginning of a series of contests that will be held over the upcoming months.
​
The objective is to allow the Youth to learn a new skill by helping to build the Township of Flint's first 3D-printed home. We are designing a set of approximately 20 plus homes and this competition encourages participants to innovate by proposing an idea that utilizes 3D printing to push the boundaries of architectural and design conventions, resulting in original and revolutionary designs.
​
We are designing a set of 20-plus homes on that site plot. For more information about the location, please sign up to receive updates.
