“The Future Institute of New Environment is launching a groundbreaking demonstration project to address some of the most urgent challenges of our time: housing shortages, climate resilience, and sustainable innovation. Inspired by the historic Case Study Houses, we will create a living showcase of next-generation housing pods — fully built environments where the public, policymakers, builders, and educators can directly experience how resilient, sustainable housing actually works.
Our first milestone is securing a $10 million site in Florida — a frontline state facing hurricanes, floods, and insurance crises — to build this innovation hub. By integrating advanced materials, off-grid systems, and climate-smart design, we aim to inform future building codes, workforce training, and policy development.
This initiative aligns with public goals around climate adaptation, affordable housing, and green jobs. We’re seeking grant support to help launch a project that will serve as a national model — a place where innovation is no longer theoretical, but tangible.
Let’s build the future, together.”
Funding Needs: $20M–$100M over 5–10 years
Partners: UN Habitat, MIT Media Lab, private philanthropists, architectural firms
