This is so amazing.

1/3 of Pakistan was underwater last year, destroying 1M homes. A Pakistani architect (Lari) has designed flood-resilient bamboo homes residents can build without waiting for relief funds. They can be relocated, climate resilient for the most-impacted (who've contributed least to climate change).

"Lari’s foundation has built almost 40,000 homes since the 2022 floods, she estimates. She expects to complete 1 million by 2024 or 2025."

Each village shares its resources — community kitchens, vegetable and "q fish farms, chicken coops and production centers. The clusters also encourage women to be breadwinners and decision-makers — a principle deeply important to Lari, who broke through a male- dominated field to become Pakistan’s first practicing female architect.

Bamboo may be the secret ingredient to building a flood-resistant home

A star architect is building swaths of flood-resistant homes out of bamboo. What makes the material so “marvelous”?
