How can 3DPrinted Homes on Mars address Earth's housing crisis | José Pinto Duarte | TEDxCollegePark

As Mars becomes the new frontier, Space Architect Jose Pinto Duarte and his team at Penn St. pioneered technology for NASA to enable 3D Printing of houses on Mars. The process led to the discovery of how the same technology could be used for afforable housing on Earth. José P. Duarte (Lic Arch UT Lisbon 1987, SMArchS 1993 and PhD MIT 2001) is the Stuckeman Chair in Design Innovation and director of the Stuckeman Center for Design Computing at Penn State, where he is Professor of Architecture and Landscape Architecture, and Affiliate Professor of Architectural Engineering and Engineering Design.

Dr. Duarte was co-founder of the Penn State Additive Construction Laboratory (AddCon Lab) and his research interests are in the use of digital technology to design and make mass customized affordable housing.

Recently, he co-edited (with Branko Kolarevic) the book "Mass Customization and Design Democracy" (Routledge, NY, 2019) and his team was awarded 2nd place in the finals of the "NASA 3D Printed Mars Habitat Challenge." This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
