In Trinidad, Wa Samaki Ecosystems is pioneering sustainable building practices by utilizing upcycled local materials like clay, grass, and tires to create climate-resilient structures. Founded by Erle Rahaman-Noronha, the initiative focuses on educating communities about environmental balance and regenerative farming. Architect Celine Ramjit uses earth building techniques to design unique, eco-friendly structures that oppose the island's conventional construction practices. These methods draw from indigenous Caribbean architectural styles that adapt to the tropical climate, highlighting a shift from modern, resource-intensive buildings to environmentally-integrated designs.
