Reimagining traditional architecture for modern needs | Riyad Joucka

About this episode

Architect Riyad Joucka discusses how homes can reflect personal identity through innovative design that incorporates 3D printing and cultural context.

Architect Riyad Joucka believes your home should be a mirror of who you are. Using 3D printing and ancient architectural wisdom, he's designing efficient, personal homes that respond to context, climate and culture without sacrificing character. He makes the case that we should start designing for people, not the market. Learn more about our flagship conference happening this April at  attend.ted.com/podcast Hosted on Acast.
