is it’s own vapor barrier. It’s non pourous. When you print a 2” line of concrete, then give it 5” of air gap, then another 2” line of concrete, that’s the r value.
Nonporous concrete? So this is the concrete we make basement walls out of now days? What ingredient is added to make it nonporous?
2" concrete would break so easy especially without rebar or mesh. Unless of course somebody created magic concrete and if they did, can they please share with Louisiana DOTD.
Your Yeti works because of vacuum. My grand pa's old house had a 5" space between the outer and inner wall too.

While there are tons of uninsulated masonry homes in Europe that are hundreds of years old, I would be interested to see what they use to control vapor drive in this wall system in the gulf coast with the a/c set to 68 deg F in the summer.
I also assume it is some sort of fiber reinforced concrete.
I know this is an ultra modern show house likely requiring all sorts of details, but the 5 month finish out isn't exactly a selling point...tell you what, when they can 3d print me a 10,000 sq ft French Mas or Spanish masia (the OG bardominiums) for dirt cheap, I'll be interested.

We talking about 3/4” wood lap siding, 2x4 wood studs and 1/2” wood boards versus 2” engineered cured poured product, 5” gap and 2” engineered cured pour product.
I get what you’re saying but can we admit maybe it’s not the same?
We’ve been out to marine bases in Cali and printed it in Johnson space center hangars in Houston, you think it’s like your pappies childhood home?
