Taking architecture from dream to design with 3D printing

Based in Austin, Texas, Bercy Chen Studio handles commercial projects in and around the city, as well as high-end residential builds in central Texas. With a focus on two key aspects of design and building, construction and architecture, it’s critical that Daniel and his teammates are able to see site build plans from all angles. As far back as 2015, the team began to leverage 3D printing, by presenting 3D printed designs to clients that showcased full-scale buildings and wall section models.

"We feel that now we don’t throw away any idea. We print and have a physical sketch of that idea that we can all see and share; if we do not end up using that design, it lives on our desk or on the design shelf for a later time."

3D printing in landscape architecture and pool design

3D printing is changing the face of architectural design, both inside and out. Traditional 2D graphics are a vital part of the design process; however, a tangible 3D model not only clarifies the details of the space, but also ensures the client fully understands how the end product will look.

Kurt Kraisinger is one designer who is harnessing the power of 3D printing. For over 20 years, he’s been providing design and consultancy services for various planning and landscape architecture projects in the US. Together with his team, he is transforming outdoor spaces into memorable locations that allow people to fully engage with their surroundings, while making a positive impact on the environment. Over the years, he has worked on private residences, corporate campuses, commercial retail centers, entertainment areas and more. You can browse his portfolio here.
