Architecture firm Ehrlich Yanai Rhee Chaney is partnering with Oakland-based construction company Mighty Buildings on a new 3D-printed community in Desert Hot Springs, California. Construction on the first unit began earlier this year, which utilizes a kit-of-parts approach to 3D print wall panels which are then assembled on site.
