The revolutionary designer teamed up with New Story to combat homelessness with 3D printed homes built on-site, in a mere 24 hours.
Yves Béhar doesn't cry over spilled milk. While sitting at a coffee table explaining his forthcoming project—a revolutionary mission to build 3D-printed homes for the homeless—Béhar's hands swung to and fro, the Swiss designer's hurried movements matching his enthusiasm. That was, until, during an important step in the building process (the plumbing), Béhar's hand erratically shifted flight, knocking a glass of milk over the table. The white liquid spilled onto his top-of-line laptop, simultaneously encroaching on other valuables on the table. All the while, Béhar maintained eye contact, unconcerned with his potential losses: "So, you see, we create two thick walls with a minimal amount of space between them so that the pipes can properly fit."
