WikiHouse 4.0

The world’s first open source, digitally-printed house will be built in Central London. The WikiHouse is a low-energy house which anyone can download, adapt, ‘print’ and assemble in a few days, with no construction skills, and for less than £50k. Led by Arup, Zero zero and The Building Centre.

This isn’t listed as service design but 3D printing has lots of scope for services to be designed around it.

Free installation
9.30am – 5.30am, Monday – Friday, Plus additional evening and weekend events.
