I keep seeing different approaches to temporary housing and shelters for Haiti. Some reuse shipping comtainers while others are designed to ship flat and then be assembled when they get to Haiti. Here are the links to the different projects that are addressing this issue. they are all very interesting and take different approaches, focusing either on make the houses and inexpensive as possible, or on being more sustainable for the future.
