0:53Now PlayingThe world’s first 3D-printed village could soon be produced in Latin America. Yves Béhar and industrial design firm Fuseproject aims to build it in just 24 hours.
The homes will be built for families living on less than $200 per month and provide access to safe housing and shelter from both environmental and physical dangers.
The ambitious project originated with New Story’s mission to end global homelessness with sustainable, cutting-edge technology—and Icon's 3D-printed home has been adapted into new site-specific designs thanks to fuseproject’s on-the-ground community workshops.
New Story has not yet disclosed the semi-rural location, but the nonprofit shared that the families involved mainly comprise farmers and palm weavers of varying ages, who often live in multigenerational homes and typically live on less than $200 per month. New Story believes that the homes could lift the families out of poverty and provide life-changing benefits for generations to come.
