Are any architects currently working on a 3D-printed project? - as a designer of environmental custom homes I'm interested in the construction detailing for the permit set - how is fenestration handled such as door and window bucks? - I also wonder how structural reinforcement, electrical races, plumbing, and piping is is detailed or addressed in the design process - do architects see this as a sustainable building technology future or is this process just a trending development?
Is there a future for 3D-printed structures?

no. It’s silly. This was a hot topic 20y ago when I was in school.
Agreed with NS. Total hogwash outside of academia. Ain't gonna happen in our lifetimes, at least not on our own planet.
Also agree with NS - has some use for crowd-sourced knowledge and biomaterials (The Emergence of Open Construction Systems: A Sustainable Paradigm in the Construction Sector? * Journal of Futures Studies (jfsdigital.org) and First 100% bio-based 3D-printed home unveiled at the University of Maine - UMaine News - University of Maine) but nothing really applicable for architects or in large scale projects , outside building models.
