Abstract

In a context that has been largely shaped by standardization and mass production due to the fast speed of technology in our digital age, the main issue of global concern about the lack of energy and resources. The main aim of the research is to explore salt -sodium chloride- as a local building material differently through new additive manufacturing techniques (such as a 3D printer) in terms of achieving and producing sustainable efficient and low-cost -composite natural unit. The ultimate aim is to reach a fabrication assembly prototype mockup to form a structural panel to test the structure and connections. The AM process would allow the possibility to generate low cost self-built housing solutions on-site, based on the consideration of material through the design process, which is not only connected with the design product but the process itself
