Resilient Homes was a design entry for a competition organised by The World Bank, Build Academy, Airbnb, and GFDRR. The design brief called for a modular, easy to build house costing under $10,000. The competition was supported by the Saving Lives project, a local charity working for people affected by natural disasters. Saving Lives partnered with an international team of designers, engineers, post-disaster management consultants and craftsman, to design and develop earthquake resistant vernacular dwellings, to be constructed using local materials, by local skilled workers at very low cost.
