World House Costa Rica
In year 2 of the World House Project, the IwB began a partnership with the Costa Rican Ministries of Culture and Housing. The Government of Costa Rica asked the Iwb to create models for sustainable communities in the new investment hotspot of Guanacaste. Several proposals were developed by the IwB to address the changing needs of the Guanacaste communities, including a green social housing prototype for rural areas that could be implemented to meet the needs of the growing population, and accommodate local families while providing temporary accommodation to migrant workers. The IwB’s housing prototype is explored in the World House Costa Rica Project Book.
