👉 The Mats Project is an innovative initiative aimed at fostering community engagement and sustainable development through the creation of modular, adaptable housing units. These units, designed with local materials and technologies, are intended to provide affordable, eco-friendly living solutions while empowering communities to participate in their own development. Mats, a local term for bamboo, is used extensively in construction due to its strength, flexibility, and rapid renewability, making the project both environmentally conscious and culturally resonant. By combining traditional craftsmanship with modern design, Mats seeks to address housing shortages and promote resilience in the face of climate change, all while building stronger, more connected neighborhoods.
