DU Emergency Housing Design Contest

[Dover]

There are a lot of talented people here. Can we collectively come up with some solutions that might not only help on the Gulf Coast but also in future emergencies? Some of the parameters would be the need to use materials that were quickly and readily available, could be pre-constructed and moved to the location or built on site, must be economical.

Put your best ideas for temporary emergency housing solutions here, either original or pre-existing. And while I expect some funny answers, I'm dead serious about this and know that there are lots of very useful ideas that simply need to be aired.

Here is the post that inspired the idea:
