The global need for affordable
housing is massive and growing rapidly. India alone estimates that they
currently have a housing shortage of over 18 million dwelling units, and
that number continues to grow. China and many African nations are in a
similar condition with population growth fast out pacing housing
production. Skilled construction labor is in short supply.
Working with an international
consortium, James B. Guthrie, AIA, president of Miletus Group, Inc., has
developed designs and a design-build strategy to bring the benefits of
prefabrication and modern methods of construction to worldwide areas of
need.
James will share the story of the
design, its design-build process, and how this international team came
together to offer a new scheme for building worldwide affordable
housing.
