FLOOD-RESPONSIVE HOUSING MADE OF BAMBOO
using vernacular materials and construction techniques, a group of students has come up with a shelter that can float, transform and submerge in response to flood disasters. the low-cost, sustainable housing solution is made of bamboo, sun-dried bricks, concrete blocks and recyclable UPVC sheets. see more submissions by our readers here, and find out how to upload your own project here.
