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.     Love what you hear?
