TTGD EcoSociety Sicily Mussomeli - Welcome
About Us
TTGD EcoSocieties – Italy Abruzzo pioneers sustainable construction by combining architectural innovation with 3D printing and environmentally responsible design. Located in the mountainous, heritage-rich region of Abruzzo, the project reimagines eco-home development for European contexts.
With master panels for eco-homes successfully fabricated using desktop 3D printing, the project has developed a modular system that will be scaled using larger printers. These homes will reflect local material availability and ecological awareness to ensure sustainability and disaster resilience.
Our Mission
To transform housing through scalable, modular, and eco-conscious construction methods using 3D printing, rooted in the landscape and heritage of Abruzzo.
Our Vision
A future where sustainable living is accessible, replicable, and aligned with cultural and environmental preservation, starting with a model from rural Italy.
Core Objectives
- Modular Design: Develop and refine 3D-printed panel systems for eco-homes that can be adapted to various geographic and cultural contexts.
- Sustainable Materials: Use local and low-impact materials to minimize environmental footprint and promote circular construction economies.
- Scalability: Shift from desktop printing to industrial-scale 3D printers to produce components efficiently and affordably.
- Visual Prototyping: Leverage architectural rendering and mould-based duplication to support rapid deployment and training.
Our Impact
- Proof of Concept: Successfully printed, assembled, and refined full-scale eco-home panels using modular sections from desktop 3D printers.
- Design Replication: Created visual guides and moulds from initial panels to streamline replication and future construction phases.
- Eco-Integration: Ensured material choices reflect environmental sustainability and adaptability to local ecosystems.
- Model for Europe: Abruzzo will serve as a showcase for adaptable, disaster-safe eco-homes across diverse European regions.
How You Can Engage with Us
- As a Tech Partner: Collaborate to scale up 3D printing capabilities or enhance material science for eco-construction.
- As an Architect or Engineer: Contribute to design optimization and performance testing of the modular homes.
- As a Local Supplier: Provide sustainable, locally sourced materials to reduce ecological impact.
- As a Donor: Help finance the industrial-scale printing infrastructure and replication of proven prototypes.
PHC Service for NGOs
A New Standard for Humanitarian Funding
Our organisation is one of a growing number of PHC Service Approved Social Enterprises. This means we align with the PHC Service humanitarian principle, ensuring that donor funds go directly to the causes they are meant to support, without diversion to administrative costs.
Unlike traditional funding models where NGO operators rely on a percentage of donations for their livelihood, PHC Service introduces a fairer, more transparent approach. Our team members are rewarded for their dedication through the PHC Service Share-out system, which compensates them based on the time and effort they invest in managing and delivering impactful projects.
This model ensures that every donation is fully utilized for its intended purpose, while those who drive meaningful change receive ethical and sustainable recognition for their contributions.
