Welcome to Daedalus Project

featuring pace-setting, award-winning, EXTREMELY LOW-COST
green HOUSING technology.

Daedalus Project is a profit-oriented corporation that is based upon a unique business model focused upon population-related products, processes, and technologies--with a primary geographic focus upon developing countries.

Three components are of primary importance to the projects undertaken by Daedalus: they must have a humanitarian basis, be environmentally sound, and promote sustainable economic growth.

While there are many population-related issues that are deserving of attention, none are more pressing than affordable solutions to the shortfall of shelter--including structures of all kinds--and water.  Those items form the primary programmatic focus of Daedalus at this time

Daedalus' approach to the alleviation of housing poverty--including community-related structures, such as clinics and hospitals--includes the innovative application of appropriate technologies to promote labor-intensive projects in developing countries. As in the case of Daedalus' patented polymer-composite, green housing material, the projects consider the creative use of recycled materials to provide for the have-not's from the excesses of the haves.

Rather than attempting to provide solutions to problems simply by introducing products for sale, Daedalus promotes projects that will also create the means of production to achieve objectives.

POPULATION FACTS

In order to better appreciate Daedalus' population-related business model, some interesting population facts follow.

Estimates on population growth vary widely--particularly country by country.  In general, history reflects that it took from creation until around 1830 for one billion people to inhabit the earth.  From that point, it only took one hundred years to add another billion.  By 1960, there were three billion people in the world.  In October, 2000, the world, led by the United Nations and private organizations such as the Population Institute, in Washington, DC, acknowledged the symbolic birth of the six billionth living human being. This year, they will celebrate arrival of the seventh billion person. Read more about why population size and growth matter.
