Home Sweet Home: The Past and Future of Human Habitation

From tiny pit-houses in the Levant and Mesoamerica thousands of years ago to soaring skyscrapers in Dubai, New York, and Shanghai today, architect and urban planning scholar Stefan Al, author of Dwelling on Earth: The Past and Future of the Places We Call Home, combines archaeology, engineering, social history, and environmental science to present the evolution of human habitation. He also looks ahead at the myths and reality of future housing, including 3D-printed homes and space architecture built by robots.
