Frenchy-
You're right.
Read an article on this fellow's work awhile back. Designs some pretty amazing structures, built of cardboard and/or paper. BTW, his name is Shigeru Ban.

thanks for the name.
A search on Google (or any other search engine...) should give plenty references to that guy's works and designs. Very interesting/amazing what he builds with his Paper Tube Structures....

Chris,
Once you have it you should be free from it for the rest of your life. Everyone in my family got it when we first moved to Phoenix about 10 years ago.
Danger! Stay away from Phoenix! Valley fever! Rattlesnakes, scorpions, tarantulas, sharp pointy plants, mountain lions, and coyotes that will eat your pets. All true!

Amazing use of cardboard.
I have always thought that emergency shelters made from cargo containers would be the way to go. Cheap, plentiful, easy to transport. But big steel boxes do not look as nice as the shelters linked by Christina or Alain.

I might be sick but Cardboard ... Shelter ...
I can see the advertising slogans ....
"100,000 Hobo's cant be wrong"
or
"As used by the homeless and destitute world wide"
Excuse me while I see a psychiatrist ...

No, I always used the non-foam wasp killer and a lighter. Foam wasp killer isn't as flammable.

a big advantage for the "paper houses" vs cargo containers : easier to stock before and to ship to the disaster point, no need to remove them afterwards, no need to stock them again....

Reminds me of the old "shotgun houses" in NO.
But where does the hot tub go?
This literally could be "our house, in the middle of our street"!
