Objectives

• Appropriate Design
• The design takes into account factors such as
  readily-available resources, the existing skill
  set of the local population, cultural
  sensitivities of the users, and possible
  implications of implementation.
• Green Design
• The design considers environmental implications
  of fabrication and use such as comparative life
  cycle analysis, carbon footprint, and depletion
  of resources.
• Economic Development
• The design adds significant incremental value to
  the client.
• Social Development
• The design adds social (i.e. Maslowian) value to
  the community such as improved shelter, food
  quantity and quality, security, health,
  integration of individuals in the community, and
  empowerment through independence (e.g. from
  multi-national corporations).
