The structures are divided into two parts. The first part, above ground, consists of several independent structures for a desert community while the second part is partially underground and partially above ground connecting several buildings and creating a multi-functional tube network system.<\/p>\n<p>The main portion of each building is constructed with sand, sintered through a solar-powered 3D printer. The top structures are based on the natural phenomena called Tornadoes and Mushroom Rocks, which is very common in deserts. It utilizes a spiral skeleton structure, which is tall, straight and with strong tension, to meet the requirements of residential, sightseeing and scientific research facilities. The dual funnel model not only improves cross-ventilation, but also generates water condensation atop the structures based on temperature differences. The net structure for the portion of underground and surface is similar to tree roots. This design not only helps to keep flowing sand dunes in place but also facilitates communication among the buildings.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogdeconcursos.com\/resultados\/img\/res\/070\/h070_04a.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-29\" alt=\"Winners of the eVolo 2014 Skyscraper Competition\" src=\"https:\/\/blogdeconcursos.com\/resultados\/img\/res\/070\/m070_04a.jpg\" width=\"960\" height=\"480\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogdeconcursos.com\/resultados\/img\/res\/070\/h070_04b.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-29\" alt=\"Winners of the eVolo 2014 Skyscraper Competition\" src=\"https:\/\/blogdeconcursos.com\/resultados\/img\/res\/070\/m070_04b.jpg\" width=\"960\" height=\"480\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 960px;\" border=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\/\/ <![CDATA[\ngoogle_ad_client = \"ca-pub-123456789\"; \/* TCB_Resultats_Pagina *\/ google_ad_slot = \"4407655701\"; google_ad_width = 970; google_ad_height = 90;\n\/\/ ]]><\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\/\/ <![CDATA[\n\n\n\/\/ ]]><\/script><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sand Babel: Solar-Powered 3D Printed Tower Qiu Song, Kang Pengfei, Bai Ying, Ren Nuoya, Guo Shen &#8211; China Sand Babel is a group of ecological structures designed as scientific research facilities and tourist attractions for the desert.
