Building Communities #5

We returned to Salvador da Bahia to continue the work carried out with the Movimento dos Sem Teto da Bahia (MSTB) in our 2009 workshop. The MSTB are an active group occupying strategically unused buildings and sites for the construction of temporary and permanent houses. MSTB is committed to the self-production of autonomous housing through the process of consolidation; hence there is an imminent need for knowledge and appropriate tools and methodologies to address the challenges in terms of planning and implementation, along with a specific interest in addressing diversities between and within the different occupations.
