A Flatpack Housing Concept for Haiti
Architect Andres Duany, best known for work designing New Urbanist communities (walkable, small-scaled, mixed-use) has shifted gears a bit to create a light, expandable shelter known as the “core house” for Haiti’s homeless. The house, designed to stand up to earthquakes and hurricanes isn’t Duany’s first foray into disaster relief housing: several years ago he helped develop the prefabricated “Katrina Cottage” as an alternative to the widely criticized FEMA trailers.

Haiti Cause Artwork
My friend Minuta sent me message for Haiti Cause.
A 7.0 scale Earthquake has left the Republic of Haiti on the brink of collapse as all basic survival needs have been reduced to absolute minimum. The loss of life has been devastating to the Western Hemisphere’s poorest country.
I will be donating my share of all sales from the ‘Haiti’ image to the people of Haiti. You may not approve of my work, but please spread the link. Consider it a small piece of energy toward a greater humanity.
