Great story wasn't it! I like Sterling's solution... low-tech implementation!

Interesting complement to this:

>> The development of engineered timber could herald a new era of eco-friendly ‘plyscrapers’. Christchurch welcomed its first multistorey timber structure this year, there are plans for Vancouver, and the talk is China could follow

I'd be leary of what's in the "ink". China does not have a good record with poisons in new goods much less in recycled waste.

The real advance is the 3D CAD control of the concrete pouring machine - these machines already exist. Other than that, this is not significantly advanced from what H. B. Zachry did in 1967 to build a hotel for Hemisfair '68 <http://www.modular.org/htmlPage.aspx?HtmlPageId=400>. Of course, in 1967 there was no 3D CAD.
