Abstract

Within the dynamic and fragile context of developing countries, often characterized by social, political and economic uncertainty, the present chapter proposes a methodology for assessing and selecting appropriate building technologies for affordable housing, including a method for the systematic classification of building components. The aim is to investigate possible sustainable construction technologies and materials, taking a holistic perspective that allows overcoming the mere economic assessment. Hence, the chapter highlights possible perspectives for the improvement of current building solutions and practices in Mogadishu toward industrialization of construction, use of local raw materials and enhancement of construction quality through training.
