A construction system to reinvent the economic activity of many women who live off aggregate extraction on the island.

Impact is an eco-friendly construction system that proposes replacing part of the aggregates with crushed glass and plastic. Created in Cape Verde, the project aims to be an answer to the urgent need to control sand extraction for civil construction, also operating on the precarious labor issues associated with this task.
In collaboration with a group of Matosinhos and Porto entities, impact creates a dialogue with local communities, opening space for the construction of new, more sustainable autonomies and new perspectives on decent access to housing and to work.
