By promoting the use of indigenous materials and traditional craftsmanship, the work takes an ethically acute stance to the environment as well as its inhabitants. Successfully addressed is the need to establish dialogue between rural and urban environments.
Ecologically, the project is merited for its sensitive deployment of low-cost natural resources, reactivating the manufacture of low-tech, handmade structures, and the use of recycled materials. These factors also contribute to an economically feasible solution that could actually serve to stimulate an increase in employment and development in local communities while preserving their particular identity.
Also to be commended is the proposed combination of vernacular techniques of construction and contemporary tectonic expression, a synthesis that is aesthetically rich as well as veritably unlimited in scope of applicability.
