Build a House Out of Recycled Cardboard

Posted by michael on from the no-smoking dept.

Uosdwis writes "Well for a better environmental option to a new house that is affordable, "low cost". Australia architects Stutchbury and Pape have created a house out of recycled cardboard, Velcro, nylon wing nuts and tape. Also , most of the house is recyclable too. It can be built in six hours by two people and can be transportable in a light commercial vehicle. Viva homeownership!" We had a story a few years about a school built out of cardboard.

    People in cardboard houses get lit and blazed!

    ...Or if the wind is up...they get blown and lifted!
    (Assuming the flexible HDPE tanks aren't full, yes I did RTFA)

    Just whatever you do, don't get trashed - this (fun)house is purposefully recyclable!
