“…This fusion between technology and cultural identity goes beyond mere aesthetics; it reflects a community's commitment to maintaining its roots by embarking on a sustainable and innovative architectural journey [10]. Integrating cultural identity into architecture through 3D printing involves adapting the design, selecting local materials, and promoting social participation to create structures that reflect the local culture [11]. Each 3D-printed building becomes a canvas for storytelling, a testament to the enduring relevance of tradition in a rapidly changing world.…”

In a dynamic era of architectural innovation, Saudi Arabia is pioneering a unique approach to preserving its rich heritage. By integrating traditional Saudi architecture into 3D-printed structures, the nation is forging a path that harmoniously blends the past and the future. This paper aims to show the potential of 3D printing in incorporating aspects of the local culture into construction. Through an analysis of the literature review, this research selected three international case studies to analyze how cultural identity has been integrated and how it evolved into buildings through 3D printing technology. The results demonstrate that aligning 3D printing with authentic local cultural identity can significantly improve the built environment. This direction favors a synthesis between sustainability and cultural heritage, giving rise to the creation of innovative architectural structures that are rooted in the territory at the same time. This cultural reflection in innovative architecture aims to lead Saudi Arabia to reflect on the importance of its heritage while also ushering in a new era of sustainable construction, ensuring that the cultural fabric of the Kingdom remains vibrant for generations to come.
