The 3D facade design reflects the charm of pre-modern concrete buildings, showcasing the construction innovation "CPAC 3D PRINTING SOLUTION" at the "Bangkok Design Week 2022". This exhibition emphasizes 'reducing time and increasing value', catering to modern designers without limits.

"CPAC 3D Printing Solution" is a 3D construction innovation from CPAC Green Solution, featured at the "Bangkok Design Week 2022" (BKKDW2022) at the Central Post Office in the Charoenkrung - Talad Noi area, under the title "3D Concrete Printing Pavilion – Design Possibility With A Façade". This pavilion showcases a 3D printed facade that beautifully reflects the charm of historical concrete buildings, with distinct patterns layered in a visually striking manner. The construction process follows the principle of "Turn Waste to Value", producing elements before installation without causing environmental pollution, thus benefiting society and being eco-friendly (Go Green) in line with SCG's ESG 4 Plus approach, which focuses on Net Zero – Go Green – Lean – Collaborate – Plus Fairness and Transparency, reinforcing the concept of CPAC Green Solution.

"CPAC 3D Printing Solution" is a 3D construction innovation from CPAC Green Solution that utilizes computer programs for design and construction control with 3D printers. It can print building walls over 150 square meters in just 7 days, reducing construction time by 66% and labor usage by 50%. This elevates Thailand's construction industry and can also be applied to create other decorative concrete products, such as furniture. It represents a creative achievement in both construction and decoration, being environmentally friendly while meeting the needs of modern designers to create their own materials without limitations.

 

The "3D Concrete Printing Pavilion – Design Possibility With A Façade" was designed by Mr. Pipit Koosuwan, Design Director of Salt and Pepper Studio, who stated, "With an initial interest in the CPAC 3D Printing Solution, which meets the basic needs of designers, I wanted to design a facade using CPAC concrete, focusing on layered patterns. This pavilion aims to attract viewers and create a shared design experience through graphics and light effects from the facade. Additionally, it raises questions about the possibilities of designing facades in individual ways."

"The design challenge for this facade stems partly from CPAC's modular concept, which combines to create a facade with diverse patterns while maintaining the dimensional charm of layered concrete. The concrete facade created with the "CPAC 3D Printing Solution" uses 3D printing technology sized at 4.65 x 2.6 meters and a height of 3.50 meters, scaled down for safety due to its temporary structure for a week. The printing took only 3 days, followed by a 2-day installation, significantly reducing work time and waste, showcasing the efficiency of CPAC 3D Printing Solution in creating complex structures and reusing materials, marking it as an environmentally friendly innovation that promotes sustainability."

"Looking back 50 years, commercial buildings around us were predominantly concrete structures in Bangkok, marking the beginning of urban development. This design concept reflects the historical concrete buildings, using a continuous line drawing technique that resembles drawing with a pen without lifting it, clearly demonstrating the production technique. We also incorporated the "CPAC" line design into the work, creating a harmonious and beautiful integration."

"As a designer, I see the CPAC 3D Printing Solution as a new viable option for construction and decoration, with the potential to create complex structures and enhance design possibilities in every dimension, meeting designers' needs to create customized materials without relying on existing industrial systems."

"The showcasing of the CPAC 3D Printing Solution at the "Bangkok Design Week 2022" this year, themed 'Co With Creation: Think, Create, Survive', addresses both Co With Eco, an environmentally friendly design innovation for the future, and Co With Culture, reflecting architectural design concepts from 50 years ago in Bangkok, revitalizing concrete buildings to become popular again. Finally, Co With Future embodies the sentiment that we are in the Future is Now! The future world is the present, and creating designs to enhance lifestyles requires forward-thinking."

Join us in exploring inspiration at the design exhibition "Bangkok Design Week 2022" from February 5-13, where "CPAC 3D Printing Solution" will be located at the Central Post Office in the Charoenkrung - Talad Noi area, along with many interesting designer programs spread across five creative economic districts: Charoenkrung - Talad Noi, Samyan, Ari - Pradipat, Thonglor - Ekkamai, and Phra Nakhon, with online viewing options available.
