Another great idea for haiti - put families out to sea or use sewage pipes for shelters...
More on this idea can be found here:
This blog contains ideas that have been proposed for family shelters in humanitarian disaster relief. NONE of the solutions in this blog are appropriate to the responses for which they are aimed. In a world where humanitarian relief funds are limited, and there are over 40 million people who have been forced to leave their homes, practical and cost effective family shelter support is required. Emergency shelter should be based on tried and tested local experience.


Lovely graphic - if only it were that simple. These prefabricated shelters only cost upwards from $14,000 (excluding transport) - it would be good to see what you could build with that money using traditional / normal materials...
Domes. All they need is a cover - that will be made from recycled theatre sets. The designers optimistically say that once they have built it and then imported it, each 21m2 dome will shelter up to 20 children...
This combines alien pods with an astounding site plan that has not taken into account any site conditions.
Yes shrink wrap!!
