Shelter: “House & Home”

From shacks to sprawling mansions, we’ve reshaped the homes we live in - which changed the shape of our lives. We explore the origins of the suburbs, the rise of American home architecture, and the radical changes that happened on the inside. Gabe examines how 3D-printed houses can help the housing crisis, and how the American Dream of owning a home often comes with its fair share of nightmares.
