ClientResearch Center for Sustainable Development (CIDS, for its Spanish acronym)

After decades of focusing public policies on urban centers, the decision was made to turn to the countryside to give back some of the much it has given us. Called by the Research Center for Sustainable Development (CIDS, for its Spanish acronym) of INFONAVIT, Open Source or Creative Commons projects were developed to analyze and prove that it is possible to develop rural social housing in a different way. The idea behind this Self-Produced Rural Progressive House is that, with due time and growth, this primeval cell becomes only a nice reminder of the seed that allowed for that growing.
