Localtalks 02.23 - Green and Affordable: Sustainable Buildings for Everyone

This session focused on the issue of sustainable and low-cost housing solutions for East Africa and beyond. Three professionals shared case studies that illustrate innovative efforts toward addressing the topic.
To begin with, Nick Mwai, director and co-founder of Living Walls Africa, spoke on sustainable raw materials used for low-cost housing schemes in Kenya. This was followed by, Jakob Knudsen, Principal of Ingvartsen Architects and the Dean of Architecture at the Royal Danish Academy, who shared his experience working on the Magoda Project and New Stars Homes project. These projects explore ways to enhance the health of people in rural Tanzania.
Finally, Sebastian Kaminski, Associate Structural Engineer at Arup London, presented a low-carbon, resilient-focused project based in El Salvador. The presentations were followed by an engaging question and answer session with the audience.
