Following the Haiti earthquake, many people suggested containers as a solution. The logistics and costs of providing over 100,000 containers, and more still finding the land for them does not bear contemplating. This competition entry is even better because it is multistory (balancing containers in an earthquake zone + how would the lifts and plumbing work?), and the containers have a very expensive refit. A timber framed transitional shelter in Haiti costs a maximum of 1500 USD.
There is plenty more nuttiness here - Haiti competition..
