Buildings

The need for shelter can be met in many different ways. Sustainable approaches can draw on traditional as well as modern materials and methods, prioritising those which are local, low carbon and job creating. Communal living structures with shared walls, roofs and facilities can help optimise the use of building materials, land and infrastructure in popular areas.
