Hello everyone!

As we look forward to a new week, we cannot help but notice the global attention that is being directed towards COP28. This event has brought the issue of climate change, housing crisis, and disasters to the forefront of our minds once again.

The ever-increasing urbanization trends and population growth have resulted in a surge in homelessness. It is a fact that around 1.6 billion people worldwide live in poor housing conditions, which highlights the need for affordable and quality housing on a global scale.

Unfortunately, limited land availability, traditional construction methods, and repetitive residential designs have made it almost impossible for many people to own a home.

Moreover, the number of people displaced from their homes due to conflicts, climate change, and other social reasons has been steadily increasing since 2008.

In fact, approximately 23 million people have been displaced each year, and this number is expected to rise in the future. However, amidst these challenges, there is still hope, and it comes in the form of new-age construction tools and techniques like 3D printing, digital fabrication, and robotics.

3D printing, in particular, has emerged as a promising solution to address the global housing crisis. This technology has the potential to speed up the design and construction process while still maintaining optimal quality, thus revolutionizing the building industry.

As we wrap up this week, we would like to remind you of the exciting offer from PAACADEMY. As a member, you can still enjoy an exclusive 15% discount on all upcoming and previous workshops, and there's even a 35% discount on selected courses! Use the discount code "NEWYEAR35" and take advantage of this fantastic opportunity.

Wishing you a wonderful weekend ahead!

Best regards,
