Cal Earth Creating Different Housing

ClosedLoop writes " Yesterday was the 14th anniversary of the Cal Earth Institute. I found myself in southern California's high desert listening to Iranian-born writer, award-winning-architect, and Cal Earth Institute founder Nader Khalili present his vision of affordable housing that the world's people can build for themselves. Judging from his research structures (and EcoDome), he's not far from his goal. He also works with NASA on ideas for structures that can be built from local Lunar or Martian materials. "

a cactus is a powerhouse due to its round shape.

Right, that's why batteries are always round, because the round shape generates electricity. But wait - pyramids sharpen razorblades?

This is for southern California, so it starts at $12.00 for the cardboard and $950,000 for the property.
