Affordable Housing in Papua New Guinea

The purpose of the project is to see permanent affordable housing being made available to people in PNG who may not be able to afford it.

The standard of construction in PNG is fairly low, so one of the issues involved is communicating clearly to see that standard increase. However, this must be undertaken carefully to ensure the houses remain culturally appropriate.

About make it so

Make it so began as a competition in 2010, inviting people to share their dreams about what they would like to see “made so” by engineering teams.
We now maintain the Make it so website as a place where engineers can continue to connect with – and inspire – people from beyond the profession.
