Sustainable Housing for Earth and BEYOND (ft. Melodie Yashar)
Episode #36: What if we told you that it’s possible to 3D print a house for around $7K and in the space of 24hrs - and not only is it possible - but entire communities are being built this way? You’d think it was pretty mind-blowing, right?
That’s exactly what Melodie Yashar and her team at ICON are focused on.
Engineering and visioning sustainable built environments on and off-world (we’re talking Mars + the Moon), she’s spearheading a shift not just in how we live, but how we think about what’s possible in the way we live. In this podcast our conversation ranges across:
… self-assembling cities
… space feminism
… the inherent rights of uncolonized worlds
… how she geeks out on new material & fabrication technologies
… and the essential role tiny robots play in all of this!
Her TED talk, ”How to Build for Human Life on Mars” has been viewed over 1.4 million times.
