| dc.description.abstract | In Guatemala, 21.5% of the population is living in extreme poverty. Poverty is a leading factor in poor-conditioned housing and a high percentage of children not attending primary school. This thesis focuses on constructing communities in Guatemala using innovative solutions and sustainable materials. Mass timber construction is an energy-efficient alternative material that is changing the built environment due to its sustainability, biophilic design, construction process, and economic development. This thesis focuses on exploring timber technology in an earthquake-prone region by learning, understanding, and embracing place with new technology that can sustain the future. | en_US |
