ICON IN THE NEW YORK TIMES

The New York Times profiles ICON, the Austin-based construction technology company pioneering 3D-printed homes to address the housing crisis and climate change. At the heart of the story is the largest 3-D printed housing community in the U.S., Wolf Ranch – a collaboration between Lennar, ICON, and BIG. Made up of 100 homes in Georgetown, Texas, Wolf Ranch was built from “lavacrete” – a proprietary mix of lava rock, cement, and water – using ICON’s 4.75-ton Vulcan printer. Reporter Debra Kamin spoke with BIG’s Founder & Creative Director Bjarke Ingels for the piece, adding his perspective on housing innovation.
