Design Conversation
APRIL 26 — David Butler and Brett Hagler will explore the work of New Story, California-based non-profit working to create a world where no human beings live in survival mode. New Story builds homes for families living in impoverished conditions across the globe. In order to increase their impact, they have recently partnered with the construction company ICON to develop a house that can be 3D printed in less than 24 hours!
Coming Up at MODA
