6. Maggie goes to - piloting with bottom up innovation projects
With Maggie Program and DMOA architects we try to introduce game changing innovation for social needs to help the sector of humanitarian aid in becoming more sustainable, circular and inclusive. We roll out or own "Maggie goes to projects" around the world by building schools for disadvantaged and displaced children using our Maggie shelter innovation. The Maggie shelter is a sustainable infrastructure that looks like a tent but acts like a building. We ship only the minimum of innovation but deploy the maximum of building capacity by using local materials to fill up the shelter so it becomes a building and working with local people to build it. We want to tell about our approach, working mlethods, results and upcoming projects.
Founder and CEO of DMOA architects and Maggie Program n.p.o.. I graduated as a civil engineering architect at the KU Leuven in 2000. We have a architectural studio of 16 architects. We have a strong social engagement with our Maggie Program projects.
