RE: SAFE AFFORDABLE HOMES IN DEVELOPING NATIONS
Very interesting!
Today my foundation is working on ideas on how to fast-track the rebuilding processes after natural disasters.
Definitely we are thinking right now on the financial aspects (and how to improve the timing and effectiveness of the response), but one of the major challenges is rebuilding the homes as you point out.
I believe your input would be so valuable! Please check out the post we published today on this subject and give us your opinion:

For speed, safety and economy in warmer climates with cement available, the ecoshell is a good choice. A 3or 4-man crew could build one in 5 or 6 days and if basalt rebar is used it will last for centuries!
You can reuse the air form, about 100 times or more before replacing it. See David Souths video at:
If cement is not available use earth-bag construction or rubble stone with gabion bands see videos and a link to the engineer that developed the gabion band system at:
