I don't quite understand what they mean by the term “humane” architecture.

I see that is has low carbon footprint, is made of local materials. But is that what they are defining as "humane" architecture?

I suppose one might consider the aspect that with ciment a lot of sand is used, which is a bane on the rivers (in Africa) causing terrible devastation... beyond that just the back breaking work of building a home ...seems much more "humane" if done by these methods...
