Socialized Housing

It takes only seconds to destroy what takes years to build. Thousands of Filipinos learned this last year, when Typhoon Ondoy (Ketsana) took lives and homes. Through better design, the painful cycle of destruction and reconstruction will be reduced. The best donation to a country at risk to the effects of climate change is not just financial aid, but ideas.
The design intends to foster local and global awareness on climate adaptability and its relevance to poverty alleviation. Disasters are setbacks to sustainable economic growth as well as human tragedies. Having safer structures “ahead of time” will not only lead to less casualties, displacement, and damage, but will empower communities to uplift their quality of life. The design also intends to build the first green, livable, affordable, and disaster-resistant village in the Philippines that will serve as the blueprint for other communities threatened by climate change.
