Context
The need for developing inexpensive building materials first gained international prominence in the mid-20th century, as rapid urbanization and post-war reconstruction exposed acute shortages in affordable housing. Initiatives by organizations such as the United Nations and research institutions worldwide highlighted the critical role of low-cost materials in addressing shelter crises. Over time, technological advances and sustainability concerns further elevated global recognition of affordable building solutions as key to inclusive development and disaster resilience.
