Roof Over Our Heads: Building Futures, Brick by Brick — Volume II
The second volume in the Roof Over Our Heads series marks a bold progression from its origins a campaign rooted in lived realities, community ingenuity and collaborative action. Launched on the global stage at COP28 in Dubai, Volume II chronicles how the campaign has grown, deepening its presence across Indian cities and expanding globally to South-East Asia, East Africa and Latin America.
This edition captures a pivotal year of co-creation with women’s collectives and informal communities transforming how housing is imagined, documented and designed in the face of climate extremes. Through immersive learning labs and grounded partnerships ROOH delves into neighborhood level data collection and analysis, resilient material solutions and the everyday strategies people use to survive and thrive in uncertainty.
More than a record of methods Volume II is a celebration of collective resilience. It elevates the voices of women, strengthens cross-continental collaborations and showcases how design, affordability and adaptability converge when local communities lead the way.
