Temperature Karachi Soars as 3D-Printed House Unveiled
The 3D-printed house has the potential to revolutionize the construction industry, making homes faster, cheaper, and more sustainable, while Pakistan's heatwave serves as a reminder of the need for innovative solutions to mitigate the effects of climate change.
A severe heatwave has gripped most parts of Pakistan, with temperatures soaring between 40-50°C in Punjab and Sindh, while Dubai has unveiled the world's first 3D-printed house, marking a significant milestone in construction technology.
The 3D-printed house, which was printed using a large 3D printer, took just 17 days to complete and features a unique, lattice-like structure. The project, undertaken by WinSun and Dubai Future District 2020, used a combination of recycled construction materials and advanced 3D printing technology to create the house. In contrast, Pakistan is experiencing extremely hot and dry weather, with perceived temperatures crossing 50 degrees Celsius in four cities.
The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) forecasts a change in weather pattern, with a fresh system of westerly winds expected to bring rain, gusty winds, and thunderstorms from June 14-16. The rain is expected in Islamabad, Rawalpindi, and central Punjab, while upper Sindh is expected to receive thunderstorm-related rainfall. Meanwhile, the 3D-printed house in Dubai is not only faster to build than traditional houses, but it is also more sustainable and environmentally friendly.
As Pakistan struggles to cope with the intense heatwave, the 3D-printed house in Dubai offers a glimpse into a more sustainable and innovative future for construction. With temperatures in Karachi reaching 39.1°C with 70% humidity, citizens are advised to take necessary precautions to stay safe during the heatwave.
