Concept and Effectiveness of 3D Printing for Urban Environment Design

The prerequisites for using 3D printing technology for creating urban design objects are considered. It is shown that small architectural forms used in landscaping are included in the development process of the territory as a functional part. The market for small architectural forms is classified as growing by 3-4 % per year, which is facilitated by the implementation of urban development programs in the framework of the National project «Housing and the Urban Environment» and the Federal project «Creating a Comfortable Urban Environment». The concept of urban environment design based on the integrated application of 3D-printed small architectural forms is proposed. The author’s concept of creating 3D-printed art objects involves the unification of small architectural forms, bringing to a uniform system of architectural modules. At the same time, each individual architectural module is a flat or three-dimensional hollow element of such a form that ensures their unification, compatibility, and versatility. For 3D printing of art modules, it is assumed to use architectural composites of the original author’s formulation with controlled rheology, set coloristics and physical- climatic stability. An assessment of the competitive advantages of 3D-printed small architectural forms, SWOT analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of using 3D printing technology for their production are made.
