The first 3D-printed affordable housing project in Europe was just completed — and it only took 12 days
In Ireland, a first-of-its-kind social housing project has been built from the ground up, using 3D printing to save both time and money. It’s the first 3D-printed social housing project in all of Europe.
The 3D printing part of the building process took just 12 days, and the company behind the build said it could be completed even faster by simply swapping the printing hose.
Conventional construction methods usually require more than 200 days, according to COBOD, meaning this method could be transformative in quickly scaling affordable housing options.
Why is this good news?As cities and countries all over the world face housing crises, the need for affordable housing options is urgent. Countries like Sweden and Germany are also experimenting with the benefits of 3D-printed solutions, and it could become the standard for building quality affordable housing to address shortages in a cost- and time-efficient way.

“When we remember the stories of people power overcoming oppression in the past, it serves as the grounds for hope that it can happen again.
For this reason, I define hope not as a feeling but as a conviction, based on the knowledge of all the ordinary people who have won against injustice before.”
A woman in North Carolina is using social media to reunite victims of Hurricane Helene with their lost photographs
After Hurricane Helene devastated communities throughout North Carolina, one woman was digging through the debris at her friend’s destroyed home and found a handful of photographs.
Heartbroken that these memories were now lost to their owners, Taylor Schenker decided to create a virtual lost-and-found on Instagram to reconnect the photos she’d collected with their owners.
She collected around one hundred photos herself and got another one hundred from others, including search and rescue teams.
With new photos added daily, the page is filled with school portraits, holiday cards, family vacations, and more — and comments from people claiming their photos.
One of the major criticisms of the COP events are its ties to the fossil fuel industry (understandably so) so I’m thrilled to see this good progress for this year's conference.
