POPULARITY
With great privilege, believes the humanitarian and entrepreneur Nachson Mimran, comes great responsibility. Brought up in a family that operates one of the largest agri-industrial businesses in West Africa, Mimran comes from considerable wealth, but unlike so many who have a background such as his, he is open and forthright about his inheritance and the responsibility he sees of doing good with it. With his decarbonization, refugee empowerment, and “human optimization” organization to.org, he's creating deep impact through various design and development projects in refugee settlements—including the Bidi Bidi Performing Arts Center, completed last year in Uganda—and empowering individuals and communities via what he describes as “venture philanthropy.” At The Alpina Gstaad hotel in the Swiss Alps, which he's the co-founder of, he provides exceptional hospitality experiences that subvert certain traditional industry codes, fostering a relaxed but elevated environment.On the episode, recorded in front of a live audience at The Lobby “hospitality event” in Copenhagen earlier this fall, Mimran discusses his big-picture view of the word hospitality; how a family tragedy led him and his brother to found to.org; and his bold vision for building transformative spaces for refugees.Special thanks to our Season 10 presenting sponsor, L'École, School of Jewelry Arts.Nachson Mimran[00:44] The Lobby[03:46] to.org[09:37] The Alpina Gstaad[09:37] Jean Claude Mimran[11:00] Marcel Bach[13:47] Arieh Mimran[19:29] Pangaia[23:28] Regenerate[23:28] Kakuma Refugee Settlement[23:28] Sumayya Vally[26:04] Hassell[26:04] Xavier De Kestelier[27:06] Bidi Bidi Performing Arts Centre[27:06] Bidi Bidi Refugee Settlement[27:49] Mike Zuckerman[27:49] Nakivale Refugee Settlement[32:11] The Throne[38:16] Kutupalong Refugee Settlement[48:09] André Balazs
Are you interested in space cities? What do you think about cities versus communities? How can we create great space communities? The panellists, Dr Anders Sandberg, Xavier de Kestelier and Thomas Gooch talk about their vision for the future of cities and space cities, the ideal size of cities, sports in space, and many more. Anders Sandberg has a background in computational neuroscience and mathematical modelling, but has for more than a decade worked in the philosophy faculty of University of Oxford doing research on topics such as the ethics and social impact of human enhancement, emerging technology, global catastrophic and existential risks, applied epistemology, and analysing the far future. His research is extremely interdisciplinary, often combines hard science with philosophy, uses quantitative methods to understand qualitative issues, and typically deals with under-researched topics. Anders enjoys academic outreach and policy impact.

In this podcast I discuss with Xavier De Kestelier about the recent projects they have started on for ESA. With the march forward to the Moon predicted to be around 2030 his team at Hassell Studio have been collaborating with other agencies to make this idea a reality. Hear about the upcoming facets of each projects and how they have selected possible features. Xavier leads our global design technology and innovation team, setting strategy and advising on the tools and knowledge we need to succeed. Both an architect and technologist, Xavier harnesses technology to create more powerful, futurefocused design solutions. That means he's responsible for overseeing our work in computational design, building information modelling, visualisation and virtual reality worldwide. Over the past decade he's forged a reputation as an industry leader in the exploration and adoption of parametric design and digital fabrication. Most recently, he was behind our concept for a ‘home' on Mars – part of NASA's 3D Printed Habitat Challenge. A TED talker and regular speaker at major design and tech events, Xavier is also a director of Smartgeometry, a non-profit, global educational network for computational and digital design specialists.
Could humans travel to Mars within the decade? Some tech giants are planning on it. And the plan isn’t just to get there -- it’s to live there. What would our Martian homes look like? How would we construct them? And should we even go to the Red Planet? Host Kevin O’Connor speaks with journalist and author Stephen Petranek, astrophysicist Michelle Thaller, planetary geologist Jacob Bleacher and architect Xavier De Kestelier about the future of human life on Mars.

Xavier De Kestelier from HASSELL took us on a mind-blowing journey into space in this episode of the podcast. We talk about the challenges and possible solutions for designing buildings for Mars and the moon. From gamma radiation and communication lag, to the issue of transporting heavy building materials, there certainly is a lot to contend with. But by harnessing learnings from architecture and design, including Gaudí’s hanging methodology, and the use of bamboo as a renewable, strong and pliable material, his team is coming up with some innovative solutions.See the show notes

How will we live elsewhere in the galaxy? On Earth, natural resources for creating structures are abundant, but sending these materials up with us to the Moon or Mars is clunky and cost-prohibitive. Enter architect Xavier De Kestelier, who has a radical plan to use robots and space dust to 3D print our interplanetary homes. Learn more about the emerging field of space architecture with this fascinating talk about the (potentially) not-too-distant future. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
De quelle façon vivrons-nous dans d'autres endroits de la galaxie ? Sur Terre, les ressources naturelles nécessaires à la création de structures abondent mais l'envoi de ces matières premières avec nous sur la Lune ou sur Mars est une idée maladroite et au coût prohibitif. Entre l'architecte Xavier De Kestelier, qui a mis au point un plan radical permettant d'utiliser les robots et la poussière spatiale afin d'imprimer en 3D nos maisons interplanétaires. Approfondissez vos connaissances sur ce domaine émergeant qu'est l'architecture spatiale avec cette conversation fascinante sur un futur (potentiellement) pas si lointain.
¿Cómo viviremos en otra parte de la galaxia? En la Tierra, los recursos naturales para crear estructuras son abundantes, pero enviar estos materiales con nosotros a la luna o a Marte es engorroso y cuesta mucho, dice el arquitecto Xavier De Kestelier, que tiene un plan radical para usar robots y polvo espacial para imprimir en 3D nuestras casas interplanetarias. Aprende más sobre el emergente campo de la arquitectura espacial con esta fascinante charla sobre el futuro (potencialmente) no muy lejano.
Como viveremos num outro lugar da galáxia? Na Terra, recursos naturais criadores de estruturas são abundantes, mas enviar esses materiais com a gente para a Lua ou para Marte é complicado e custoso. Assim, o arquiteto Xavier De Kestelier tem um plano radical para usar robôs e poeira interestelar para imprimir em 3D nossos lares interplanetários. Aprenda mais sobre essa área crescente da arquitetura espacial com esta palestra fascinante sobre o futuro, potencialmente, nem tão distante.
Wie werden wir in anderen Teilen unserer Galaxie leben? Auf der Erde gibt es genügend natürliche Ressourcen, um Gebäude zu bauen, aber dieses Material mit uns zum Mond oder Mars zu schicken, ist umständlich und zu teuer. Der Architekt Xavier De Kestelier hat hierzu einen radikalen Plan entwickelt: Er setzt Roboter und Weltraumstaub ein, um interplanetare Häuser als 3D-Druck zu erstellen. Erfahren Sie mehr über das gerade entstehende Forschungsgebiet der Raumfahrt-Architektur in diesem faszinierenden Vortrag über die (vielleicht) gar nicht so ferne Zukunft.
은하계 다른 곳에서 우리는 어떻게 살 수 있을까요? 지구에서는 건축에 사용가능한 천연 자원들이 충분하지만, 그런 재료들을 달이나 화성까지 보내는 것은 비용 측면에서 엄두도 낼 수 없습니다. 이 때문에 건축가인 자비어 드 케스텔리어는 우주 먼지를 활용한 3D 프린트 로봇으로 다른 행성에 주거지를 만드는 계획을 세웠습니다. 그의 강연을 통해서 그리 머지않은 미래에 펼쳐질 우주 건축이라는 새로운 분야에 대해 알아보세요.
