Latin American housing forum to explore links between housing, health and economies

SAN JOSE, Costa Rica (May 10, 2021) Amid a pandemic that has increased poverty and worsened a global housing crisis, more than 2,000 people are expected to attend the fourth Latin American and Caribbean Housing Forum, which is being held virtually May 17-21. Participants will have an opportunity to engage with experts to evaluate the status of safe, affordable housing in the region focusing on its importance to health, overall wellbeing and economic recovery and discuss solutions for creating more affordable housing. “More than a fifth of the world’s population lacks decent and safe housing, and the COVID-19 pandemic has only exacerbated the need. Latin America and the Caribbean have been especially hard hit by economic distress and unemployment,” said Jonathan Reckford, CEO of Habitat for Humanity International. “A deep willingness to actively help shape the world around us for the better has always been a hallmark of Habitat. Together, through engagement like thi

Bamboo seen as ideal building material for sustainable homes

March 16, 2021 | 12:08 am Font Size AAA By Managing Editor BAMBOO isn’t often used to build homes in the Philippines, as many consider this as “a poor man’s material.” Base Bahay Foundation, Inc. is hoping to change this perception, as it pushes for the use of bamboo as an alternative building technology for socialized housing in the country. “What we want to change with this misconception is that bamboo, just like any other material, can be used just as well for strong structures when used properly and with the sufficient technology,” Maricen Jalandoni, president of Base Bahay Foundation, Inc. said in an e-mail interview with

Finding the Lost City of Heracleion: Encountering Myth Under the Waves

In 1992, IEASM began mapping the area around the port of Alexandria and in 1996 they extended their research to include Aboukir Bay, tasked by the Egyptian government to discover Canopus, Thonis and Heracleion, all believed to have been reclaimed by the Mediterranean Sea. This research allowed them to understand the topography and circumstances that caused submersion of the area over time. The team used information from historical texts to establish the areas of primary interest. The survey of Aboukir Bay covered a research area of 11 by 15 kilometers (6.8 x 9.3 miles). Beginning in 1996, the mapping of the Aboukir Bay took years. In 1999 they discovered Canopus, and in 2000 they discovered Heracleion. The site of the sunken city of Heracleion remained hidden in the Bay of Aboukir for so long because the remains of the ancient city are covered with sediment. The upper layer of the sea floor is made up of sand and silt deposited as it exits the River Nile . The team from IEASM was a
