Cambodian Sustainable Housing Design

This project focuses on how to improve local people’s life using architectural methods.

Cambodia is the poorest country in Asia and in the world. The total living expense per day is less than $2.00 for 53.27% of the population. Saving them from poverty and terrible living conditions has become a worldwide concern. However, for those poor people, the most effective way to pull them out of current situation is not offering goods and food. They need a way to support themselves.

According to numerous researches, this design raises the concept of “Economical Sustainability”. It aims to provide a method rather than only a residence for the local people. By learning how to build and fabricate building materials, they could eventually earn their life.
