AECOM design elites gather in Winsun Suzhou factory to explore 3D architecture's future

October 28, 2017, design elites of AECOM, a world's top infrastructure comprehensive service enterprise, visited Suzhou factory of Yingchuang Building Technique (Shanghai ) Co.,Ltd (WINSUN). A week-long bootcamp held by two sides aimed to explore the new vitality that 3D printing architecture can bring to future architectural design.

“Bootcamp” starts from today and will give reports on November 4. More than 50 industrial youth elites, together with senior designers from AECOM Greater China, America, Europe and Middle East office, as well as outstanding student representatives of related major from Tsinghua university, Tongji university and South China university of technology will visit Winsun 3D printing architecture ink R&D center and 3D printing architecture factory to watch 3D printing architecture cases and listen to the detailed technical explanation. After that, “bootcamp” students will finish 7 sets of 3D printing architecture design and make great efforts to put their achievements into use.

“Bootcamp” first built by two sides, integrates the unique advantages of Winsun in technology and the leading position of AECOM in architectural design to conduct design application based on 3D printing architecture new technology. Guided by AECOM senior experts, students begin to think 3D printing architecture’s reform in future’s architecture and design industry by team’s work and own professional knowledge and technology according to specific project and achievement requirements. It is reported that AECOM has held a "bootcamp" in several Asian cities, which has designed a number of refreshingly old urban or environmental restructuring plans for local governments and institutions.

President Xihe, MA, founder of Winsun, warmly welcomes and will give big support to AECOM “bootcamp” that is held in Suzhou factory. He said that building technology has relied heavily on a large number of human and manual processes for thousands of years. While the emergence of 3D printing architecture may bring about disruptive changes to building, environment and even the conception, design, construction and maintenance of the whole city. We are looking forward that “bootcamp” can improve 3D printing architecture technology and industrial application to a new level.

AECOM President of Asia Pacific, Quansheng QIAO,  expressed appreciation  for Winsun strong support for this "bootcamp". He said in the opening ceremony: “Bootcamp” held in Winsun Suzhou base aimed to let young designers understand the latest 3D printing architecture technology and inspire their design inspiration, which promote team’s seamless collaboration from different regions and different majors, proposing a unique solution to the most complex problems in today’s city construction.

According to the design achievements of “bootcamp”, Winsun will explore the feasibility of the design from 3 aspects:

1.The design of the future community of 1 square kilometer industry in 30 cities across the country

2.Architectural design of Winsun Shanghai Qingpu District 3D printing architecture global R&D center

3.The design of the 3D printing architecture technology that can enter the daily l life of the people

The conference will set up a thematic conference based on the communication content. The thematic reporter will be selected from conference invitation and the abstract of paper. The reporting time for each feature report is tentatively scheduled for 30 minutes.

“ Bootcamp” students’ 3D printing architecture achievements will break the original construction technology and worker process limitation and create a new form of construction and efficient building method combined with model and complex modeling design. Winsun will accelerate the realization of 3D printing construction technology in future building applications by using 3D printing architecture eco-environmental "ink" technology and design achievement of intelligent equipment technology. In near future, construction workers will not need to work in the open air, only need to press a button to control the 3D printing architecture equipment.

In fact, Winsun has not only built houses by 3D printing architecture technology in China but also printed 17 future offices for Dubai government. Moreover, Winsun participates in US super high-speed rail construction with technology crowdsourcing mode, providing HTT with 3D printing architecture suitable for super high-speed rail to print high strength and high precision super high-speed rail management facilities and stations, platforms. Some of the achievements of this "bootcamp" are expected to be a bellwether for future construction.

Since Winsun signed strategic cooperation memo with AECOM in May, 18th, two sides have been looking for concrete implementation projects around the world. So to speak, “bootcamp” has accelerated the application of 3D printing in architectural design and construction. The two sides will continue to deepen cooperation to design integrated future architecture environment with shorter delivery construction cycle and more environmental materials.

Yingchuang Building Technique (Shanghai) Co.,Ltd. (Winsun), the leader of global 3D printing architecture, was found in July 24, 2003. The company specializes in 3D printing architecture and D&R, production of building new materials more than 16 years, which is a high-tech enterprise that first truly achieves 3D printing architecture in the world. Yingchuang holds 129 national patents and is awarded as important enterprise of “ one belt one road” policy, brand enterprise impacting on Chinese real estate, China real estate integrity enterprise, Shanghai excellent alliance enterprise, China real estate develop enterprise and preferred supplier enterprise of top 500 business real estate projects and is first recognized as a "high-tech enterprise" in the industry.
