The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/3d-printing-construction-310120184\/\">3D printed building showcases<\/a> revolutionary mass-customisation building techniques and is also a unique homage to the Bauhaus movement, coming exactly 100 years after.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The design by the DUS architects uses the intelligence of 3D printing. In other words, the freedom <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/3d-technologies\/\">3D technologies<\/a> are able to offer was fully explored in the design and fabrication process of Tiny Bauhaus. Canopies, seating and shelving seem to grow from the walls for example.
