Tatiana Bilbao is perhaps best known for her incredible attitude towards low cost housing , and has offered design-led low-income and climate appropriate housing in Mexico as a solution to the country ’ s housing crisis . At the inaugural Chicago Architecture Biennial in 2015 Bilbao presented her building prototype ; a low cost house that can be adapted and expanded to accommodate varying numbers of residents and family growth . The prototype could also be altered to suit ranging climates by utilising a variety of materials and spatial layouts , and was commissioned by the Mexican government as a part of their subsidy programme for low income families looking to buy property .
