| summary |
This project develops a template design and an adaptive fabrication process for sustainable Compressed Earth Block (CEB) dwellings for low-income countries. Most existing projects (Wilton et al. 2019; WASP 2021) on sustainable dwellings involve high-tech equipment or skilled workers on-site. This project integrates digital technologies into the design and fabrication processes to reduce these requirements and make the design compatible with conventional construction methods that are actively adopted in low-income countries using minimum infrastructure, skilled labor, and investment. |
