The Hestia Project
A BIMSI program for prefabricated low-income housing.
About The Hestia Project
Hestia, the Greek Goddess of hearth and the home, is known for her warmth and acceptance of others. We thought that because of this, she would be the perfect emblem of our initiative.
The "The Hestia Project" program was started by Olivia Wang and Sage Murthy, two high school students from Los Angeles, California. The goal of this program is to promote Advanced Building Information Modeling (BIM) technologies, which could help streamline the development process of low-income housing and/or shelter projects for homeless.
