Episode Four: The Future of Construction in the North
Canada's north is facing a severe housing crisis. Today, we're looking at innovative solutions to address this problem, including new techniques for building on permafrost and the possibility of 3D printing new homes. Our co-hosts Connor Oke and Rebecca Rogers sit down with Stig Hansen, the project manager for a new student housing complex in Svalbard, Norway, and Julian Leland Bell, a mechanical engineer who specializes in robotics, manufacturing, and mechanical design. In 2017, he worked on a project at MIT to construct houses using 3D printing techniques.
