Greenbox - Assembly house for homeless people after natural disaster

Lol. you are not considering the situation the house created for . Have you heard about somalia events. million of people about to die. almost half of million died. do you know for what? food only. although we are spending lavish life here. So I am talking about the thinking of the situation. The design was very suitable with the situation if you can imagine. Great job Khoi!

lol brown-green will only make it look more like s***... don't know :P

and the installation process It seems we had spent most time on technical side and therefore have not been considered much on aesthetic side. And it is temporary house (use for 1 - 2 months) so we decide cut down on cost as much as possible ^^

Here are some shot: Base module: [IMG]http://nd9.upanh.com/b2.s5.d4/20abe151b689403c738c56ed70c8fe75_35677209.411.png[/IMG] Wind current [IMG]http://nd0.upanh.com/b3.s4.d1/d3be36ea3ba1fe180ce1dd6921c678fc_35677220.gio1.png[/IMG] Passive lighting [IMG]http://nd7.upanh.com/b5.s11.d4/63b4f0230db918c73799c26ffd437f8b_35677227.lightbot tle1.png[/IMG] Yes, you are right, its the color that makes it look like toilet :D, may be i could shift the color to brown-green, it might look better ^^

the idea is good, the design i don't know, but it looks like a grid-based unit build up out of the same block each time > is good if you have more info on the design itself and the process, please share so we get a better insight at that. Other then that: the colours make it idd look like toilets. There're alot of other materials that are being recycled and used, with a better "esthetic" comfort, then the one you're using now i reckon. Don't forget the people may be homeless and anything is better then nothing in terms of improving their living-standards, but imagine those huge appeartment buildings (lik this one: http://blog.travelpod.com/travel-photo/abalzer/1/1278962678/depressing-soviet-era-apartment-building.jpg/tpod.html) where the pple might be more "surviving" then actualy living. I'm not saying ur design is comparable to this building lol, i'm just saying: IF POSSIBLE: humor them by an extra effort in ethetics. Not that esthetics should overweigh functionality or cost. Unless you think it should. To each his own. :) grts

Thank you ^^. Everyone who has seen this all said: "That looks like toilets" :D Yes, It is but It is very cheap for recycled materials, less than 25$ per meter square and you can use it many times. And you can have any shape on plan like zigzag, linear,... and thats COOL! ;) P/s: If Im about to be in the last round of the prize, I wish to ask for sponsor to make the prototype 8->

Its difficult to comment on it. in terms of visualization, if you would intend to sell your design to our current architectural market then there are comments. If you intend to propose technical issues; then its your unique idea it may work. depends on demands. Each chamber looks like toilet to me. But at the end I have to say. its cool. :)

That is kind of cool :)
