Langan helps DESIGN
the Office of the Future
in Dubai, UAE
Launched in April 2016, Dubai’s 3D Printing Strategy aims to have 30 percent of the city’s buildings 3D printed by 2030. Langan provided site/civil engineering services for the world’s first “3D printed office” in Dubai, which opened over the summer. The building houses the offices of the Dubai Future Foundation and took 17 days to build by a 3D printer with a robotic arm. This 3D printed building is a model for sustainability due to the lower costs and faster delivery.
