- Holcim and the Norman Foster Foundation built tiny concrete homes to house the displaced.
- The house was built using materials such as low-carbon concrete and recycled materials that can be rolled.
- These materials can be reused or recycled when no longer needed.
A new housing concept from Holcim and the Norman Foster Foundation says that long-term displaced people need low-carbon, rollable concrete and recycled materials to achieve sustainable housing.
Several startups have developed shelters for the homeless. From small prefabricated home communities to 3D printed units, these solutions flexibly leverage both creativity and current construction technology. However, Holcim and the Norman Foster Foundation have established a different approach. Combining the brains of a renowned architect with the construction prowess of a sustainable construction company, they’ve created a sleek, eco-friendly concrete bunker that provides long-term protection for people.
