Architecture for Humanity

I think this type of approach is the most appropriate for my design thesis, In other words, my approach is a humanitarian approach where by I would seek to make the most out of what I like to term as 'hidden resources' to produce an appropriate, sustainable yet elegant design.
The advantages of this approach are numerous. I particularly find very interesting the contribution and the involvement of the clients (the villagers) from the video, I think it develops an emotional level of attachment to what is built and it's existence is much more appreciated than if it were built by outside contractors.
