BASE: A decade in bamboo infrastructure

BASE Bahay Foundation Inc. (BASE) marks its 10th year of building resilient bamboo infrastructure for the Philippines. It is committed to its vision of using local and sustainable materials to help address the growing housing gap and reduce the effect of climate change.

Engr. Luis Felipe Lopez, BASE general manager, said, "The 2023 UN-Habitat PH Country Report estimates that the Philippines will be saddled with a 22-million housing backlog by 2040." They have positioned their BASE Cement-Bamboo Framework to "scale as a holistic solution" to the challenges above.
