Host Zannat Reza examines the potential future of 3D printed housing as a solution for providing age-friendly, affordable housing options for older adults.
With 65% of older Canadians in the "missing middle" of housing options, meaning that they have few or no housing options that meet their financial, medical, functional, and personal preferences and needs, 3D printed housing offers a customizable and adaptable option to aging in place. This episode explores examples of 3D printed housing projects sprouting up around the globe, including in Kenya and Dubai, and speaks with Ian Arthur, President of nidus3D, a construction company in Kingston, Ontario, about the benefits of 3D printed housing for older adults and how it can be adapted to meet their specific needs.
Learn about the technology behind 3D printed homes, their unique features, and how they can help us live at home for longer.
