The World House Project will explore the evolution of shelter whilst planning for the next generation of holistic housing design. Institute without Boundaries and The Massive Change Project collaborates to ‘design a global and healthy human lodging’.
The core aim of the project is to make a housing system that minimizes the extremes between the urban slouch and the urban slum. ‘There is lot to do’. In developed countries today, over a billion people are without shelter and by the year 2030, three billion people in the third tier countries will need housing that is 96,150 housing units per day.
Research work has been undertaken to power a potential, responsible global design. Bruce Mau, a design pioneer, explains with respect to a recent design manifesto to be an immersive experience. World House Project is a multi-year, hand in hand initiative led by the Institute without Boundaries that will explore the evolution of shelter and plan for the next generation of holistic housing design.
The ambition of the World House Project is to generate a system that achieves a balance between the extreme urban slouch and the urban slum, wherein urban slouch houses consume huge amount of electricity and pollute the atmosphere. On the other hand, over a billion people live in urban slums without shelter. It has to operate on the principles of sustainability, universality, technological responsiveness and balance so that we may create dwellings that promote the long-term health of nature and human culture.
