Listen "Episode 27: Anti-Luxury Eco Housing: Redefining Sustainability for Everyone"
Episode Synopsis
On this episode of Eco Echo, host Nil Kıran and guest Beyza Altan unpack why sustainable housing is so often branded as a luxury—and how architecture can change that narrative.From passive cooling and mud-brick insulation to bamboo scaffolding and community-driven design, they explore ways to democratize sustainability so it benefits low-income communities, not just the wealthy. Together, they connect architecture, climate resilience, and social justice, asking: how can we ensure green design doesn’t widen inequality but instead builds a fairer, healthier future for all?
