Cardboard House: Low cost, green, portable future house!
Now cardboard houses can come in handy while your permanent house is being built or renovated, for emergency housing, or for short-term accommodation. Two people can assemble this future house in just six hours using appropriate scaffolding. The house is not only simple to assemble, its portable too. The Cardboard House represents the reduction of technology and the simplification of needs. By demonstrating that we are able to recycle 100% of the building components at extremely low cost, the Cardboard House is a direct challenge to the housing industry to reduce housing and environmental costs.

yes, it does. and it’s also inflatable.
looking at this image it doesn’t really seem appropriate for emergency housing, since it is quite high tech, but you never know if there is an NGO with some secret money stash or IT-millionaire-turned-philantrophist.

Just as it has become fashionable for designers to give a nod to adaptive reuse, it is also fashionable for architects to create show houses for refugees. You get a few extra brownie points if it involves a bit of adaptive reuse.
Here’s an example by Cubo Arquitectos of Santiago, Chile.
Its made entirely of doors, pallettes and some plastic sheeting. It looks great, as a shack we love it, it’s got honesty and style.
But it looks cute and that’s probably all that matters.

Win the 1980’s, when NASA wanted ideas for how to build on Mars (or the moon), Persian architect Nader Khalili came up with a winning concept. No need to transport much from Earth; just bring woven plastic tubes. On Mars simply fill up the tubes with dirt to create coils that can be built up to form walls, then roofs.
non so come l'articolista originale possa definirla dotata di "great aesthetics", ma rimane comunque interessante (incredibile) la compattezza
Washington, D.C. architect Carib Daniel Martin designed the Help House to provide emergency housing that is not just a roof over one's head, it also provides a sense of home. It's really amazing how much functionality he squeezed into the 8' x 12' space but it really is all there.

Fast Construction of Wooden Emergency Houses in former Yugoslavia
In 1992 Doraja Eberle and her Husband Alexander founded the private Austrian aid organization “Farmers help farmers” to relieve the terrible misery of the innumerable people who have been driven from their homes and deprived of their rights in former Yugoslavia.

All the above mentioned positives about the house make me think of those homeless people who spend their entire life on streets. Many die living their dream; To have a house one day! If this is so simple, cost efficient and offcource ‘Eco-friendly’, then why doesn’t the government encourage them to live their dream by providing subsidies? Food, cloth and shelter are the basic necessities for which we toil day in and day out, but remember many like us just live cuz they have to live. Support green and uplift humanity!

Sean Godsell: Future Shack
Si sprecano in rete gli esempi di riutilizzo di container dismessi;

An enormous group of architects are exploring how to help people displaced by a natural disaster or other emergency. When the emergency strikes they require and urgent solution for their housing problem and the short time construction ideas it’s a need. Sean Godsell has designed a house named The Future Shack that has a parasol-style roof made from recycled plastic to collect water for storage, and includes solar cells to generate electricity. It is made from containers, proposing that it is mass-produced with a minimum of materials and is easily stockpiled, making it a versatile emergency-housing unit.

But as emergency housing? You must be joking? The tsunami or hurricane or earthquake hits so what do you do - of course, you jog down to the nearest big box hardware store and buy thirty or more doors.
And so do the other tens of thousands of homeless in your area. Assuming you have a big box hardware in your third world country, assuming it’s still standing, assuming it has several hundred thousand doors in stock, assuming you have money, assuming you have transport etc, etc, etc.

Mud Houses for Mars
superadobe: il mio preferito... Win the 1980’s, when NASA wanted ideas for how to build on Mars (or the moon), Persian architect Nader Khalili came up with a winning concept. No need to transport much from Earth; just bring woven plastic tubes. On Mars simply fill up the tubes with dirt to create coils that can be built up to form walls, then roofs.
We are not building on Mars or the moon yet, but Khalili is busy building his ‘superadobe’ mud houses here on Earth. This building technique is easily downscaled to become a low-tech housing house-building solution for poorer countries and for emergency housing.

AND it has a great asthetic which is what makes it so much more than just another portable temporary house. I actually came across a website with lots of tiny houses that are worth taking a peek at.
Maybe we could all use a little downsizine now and then.

In 1992 Doraja Eberle and her Husband Alexander founded the private Austrian aid organization “Farmers help farmers” to relieve the terrible misery of the innumerable people who have been driven from their homes and deprived of their rights in former Yugoslavia.
The “Farmers help Farmers” house building project has been successfully running for several years.
About 390 wooden houses have been erected until now. These houses which are ready to move in after only four days costs approximately 3000 dollars, including furniture, fixtures and fittings.
For a family, such a house is not just a roof; it is a big step towards returning to normality.
In many cases, it helps people to live near their destroyed houses during the reconstruction period.
Today through a kind of assembly line approach and with careful engineering, each house costs only $3000. This includes appliances, a full bathroom, and a sleeping loft for an 800-square-foot house.

Global Village Shelters
il massimo del fai da te (ma se dite "DIY" fa figo ;) improponibile - credo- dal punto di vista del comfort igrotermico, ma interessante comunque il concetto di origami-house
A virtual origami house, the Global Village Shelter is made with large sheets of fold-up corrugated laminated cardboard, flat-packed in three easily shippable parts. The prejointed walls simply have to be unfolded, and two roof pieces connected and placed on top. It’s light and simple enough to be constructed by two people in less than an hour. And at $550 bucks a pop, this is truly affordable prefab.
Global Village Shelters have been used all over the world in disaster relief: from Grenada to Afghanistan, Pakistan to the US - precisely because they are so quick, easy and cheap. I must say that for cardboard disaster relief housing, they are pretty cute as well. Who among us can resist the clean, simple white cube?
