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.

Duany’s house for Haiti is small– 8?2? x 8?2? x 19?8?—but can sleep 8. Essential for cost-reduction and ease of distribution—can be packed flat in a package less than two feet thick. It’s designed for quick assembly from a strong, lightweight, and waterproof composite material Duany describes as miraculous. Can this work in Haiti? We hope so. At present, there are at least a million people without homes in the hurricane-battered country.

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.

… After all, we are all part of the same geometry.

Best wishes friends
