Recycled Building Materials

Hi all,

Here is the link from an article on Inhabitat that leads to Inhabitots- the child centered branch of Inhabitat.

While this is designed to be a somewhat fun take on reusing recycled products to construct an entire house, it is a pretty interesting concept of using items that you would find in a recycling bin to design and construct an entire dwelling. This also brings up an idea of the potential for utilizing these bottle house (or even aluminum can houses) as a temporary fix to housing/ dwelling issues throughout the world that would be able to be stored as a kit of party in a variety of different conditions without really worrying about the way that water and mold are impacting the structure.
