The New Mandate: Tent Cities -> Hexayurt Cities

The Hexayurt can be made in plywood for $132 plus paint for a long-life, durable dwelling, or a rapid deployment unit using folding components can be made. There is no reason that we cannot provide acceptable housing to people unlucky enough to wind up in tent cities. These shelters can be cheaper than tents, for a much higher quality of life. Please pass this idea on, circulate it, spread it around, and let's get some solutions here. Everybody deserves a place to live. Let's do the best we can. http://hexayurt.com http://openfarmtech.org/weblog/?p=340 http://files.howtolivewiki.com/folding_hexayurt/folding_hexayurt.html

    Interesting site, Jacques. What’s been your experience doing this kind of building in refugee camps etc? I checked out the site but I couldn’t find much – I’d be very interested in your experience and lessons learned.

    I saw plenty of really nice buildings, but nothing in the “cheap shelter” category.
