Exhibitions

The "Design for the Global Majority" exhibitions revisit the Minimum Cost Housing Group's (MCHG) pioneering efforts in developing low-cost and sustainable housing solutions. The concept of 'global majority' challenges traditional racial categorizations, emphasizing that those identified as 'ethnic minorities' constitute nearly 80% of the world's population. These exhibitions aim to highlight the profound impact of the MCHG's DIY experimentation and self-publishing in shaping innovative architectural solutions that address the housing needs of communities worldwide.
