Being Tectonic: Social Innovation Through Mud-concrete (MC) Technology

Abstract

Social innovation is defined as an institutional change leading to the emergence of new routines. Providing affordable housing to low-income communities is a challenge faced by many developing countries. Mud-Concrete (MC) technology is a promising material solution recently developed to achieve sustainable goals. This paper discusses a novel finding in Engineering that could be applied to resolve a social issue integrating with architectural norms.
