UNSTUCK: A Pragmatic Approach to Community Empowerment The tensions at Angkor Wat—between heritage preservation, UNESCO policies, and local displacement—highlight modern conflict's complexity, where blame circulates without resolution. Instead of theoretical debates, we propose unsticking discussions from entrenched positions and shifting toward community-driven action. Our approach centers on collaborative making, partnering with locals to build durable, culturally resonant housing using indigenous materials like bamboo, compressed earth blocks, and recycled resources. This is not neutrality but intentional empowerment through design. While policymakers debate, we equip communities with tools for self-sufficiency. By co-creating homes rooted in their needs and traditions, we prioritize tangible resilience over abstract discourse—one sustainable home at a time. We name this project HomeMade Cambodia.
