The Equatorial Living Lab project embraces an open-source philosophy, making all research, designs, and methodologies publicly available. This approach facilitates global collaboration and adaptation, allowing communities, designers, and policymakers worldwide to access, modify, and implement our solutions according to local needs and resources. By sharing our findings openly, we aim to inspire sustainable development and foster a culture of transparency and innovation in low-cost housing across different equatorial regions.
