Architects from Dhaka are collaborating with rural communities in northeast Bangladesh to construct flood-resistant tiny houses known as khudi baris. These homes are designed to withstand severe flooding and can be easily dismantled and relocated during river erosion, empowering villagers to build them independently. The project showcases a successful model of community-led climate adaptation, with several homes already constructed. Despite the urgency of completing a project before an impending flood arrives, individuals are working tirelessly to finish within 14 or 15 days to avoid potential damage, highlighting the race against time to address climate challenges in the region.
