The Verticalize Earth House is a sustainable system for housing, specifically for the Kakuma camp, which is in hot and dry weather condition, to be developed by means of 3D earth printing. In Kakuma, there are not enough fuels and electricity so sustainable system is required. Second one is the verticalization for high density. High density will allowed more people to live in small area. It will prevent infra structures such as school, hospital and water tank to spread out. Third one is the customizing each building units based on environment and people’s needs. Concrete buildings or prefabricated building can make similar or same units. But 3d printing can customize each units by just different design data, towards a diverse and performative architecture.
