Switzerland is building the world’s tallest tower. The structure consists of 32 prefabricated columns that can be easily printed and assembled on site.

The nearly abandoned village of Moulegnes in the Swiss Alps will see the arrival of a multifunctional cultural space – a 30-meter tower, which will become the tallest structure in the world created using 3D printing technology. This is reported by Euronews.

In a digital projection, the White Tower of Moulegnes looks like part of a science fiction film set.

Surrounded by the snow-capped peaks of the Swiss Alps, the ivory-colored structure towers over the valley like a very ancient tree. The structure is strong enough to withstand the cold winters and powerful winds characteristic of mountain passes.

Part concert hall and part art installation, the 30-meter-high tower will be the world’s tallest 3D-printed structure when it is completed in June.

The Tor Alva project began three years ago. Its aim is to revive the declining villages on the Julier Pass, which was once an important transit point between northern and southern Europe.

The tower is made of 3D-printed concrete using an extrusion method developed at the Faculty of Building Technology (DBT) at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich.

The structure consists of 32 prefabricated columns that can be easily printed and assembled on site. It has five levels, which become increasingly spacious as you climb the spiral staircase to the domed platform at the top.
