The student of the Master in Science and Technology of Building in Architecture and of the doctoral program in Civil Engineering, V ctor Mart nez Pacheco, has been one of the winners in the Sustainable Development Awards and Climate Change granted by the Autonomous Community. "I am impressed to receive this recognition because the rest of the entities whose work has been recognized are very strong entities in this field and for me it is a tremendous joy," says the young man. The work he presented to the awards was the one he did as a final study project and which consisted of a refugee camp for the Central African Republic printed in 3D with recycled plastic bottles. The project had total autonomy of electricity through solar panels, self-supply of water by collectors, treatment plants, filters and decanters to make it drinkable and even allocate the surplus to the rest of the field, as well as a sanitation system to through "Tiger Toilets", whose residues are used for fertilization by infiltration of crops in the field. Martínez Pacheco is clear that 3D printing is the future for the construction field.
"In architecture it is the only possible future to apply industry 4.0, to achieve robotization you have to go through 3D printing," he says. Currently, Martínez Pacheco runs his own architecture studio, which he assures is working "very well." function { ;(, , {});}
