Following our previous look at an opening for a residential architect at Joseph Vance Architects<\/a>, we are using this week\u2019s edition of our\u00a0Job Highlights series<\/a>\u00a0to explore an open role on Archinect Jobs for a\u00a0Senior Architect at ICON<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The position, based in Austin, Texas, calls for an individual who will contribute to the \u201cdevelopment of entirely novel approaches to high-performance buildings.\u201d Among the responsibilities will be contributing to the development of ICON\u2019s 3D-printed wall system and developing drawings, diagrams, and construction documents of ICON products. The role calls for 8 or more years of experience in complex, multidisciplinary design projects.<\/p>\n

The open role at ICON offers us the opportunity to look back on recent notable developments from the 3D printing innovators. In 2024, Archinect interviewed both Bjarke Ingels<\/a> and ICON\u2019s Melodie Yashar<\/a> on the collaboration between BIG and ICON for a new catalog of 3D-printed homes. While Ingels outlined how the technology could offer new approaches to housing design and construction, Yashar discussed the applicability of such technologies to Yashar\u2019s work beyond our planet.<\/p>\n

That same year, at an SXSW event dubbed \u2018Domus Ex Machina,\u2019 the company presented a new low-carbon building material<\/a> for\u00a03D printing, named CarbonX, an AI-powered design system named Vitruvius, and a multi-level 3D printer named Phoenix. ICON also used SXSW to introduce\u00a0CODEX, a digital catalog of ready-to-print residential homes containing more than 60 designs across five collections.<\/p>\n

Following its March 2024 launch, the first CODEX homes\u00a0came to the market<\/a> in Texas in July. Eight homes were listed from the catalog, ranging from four to five bedrooms and 2,800 to 4,000 square feet, constructed using the new CarbonX material.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, BIG and ICON also broke ground on Liz Lambert\u2019s 3D-printed El Cosmic resort<\/a>. The design for the expanded El Cosmico resort, which may become the world\u2019s first 3D-printed hotel development, includes multiple structures comprised of different organic forms to be printed on a plot totaling more than 60 acres.\u00a0Completion is expected this year.<\/p>\n
