It’s quite a fascinating concept, one that could be the answer for victims suddenly left homeless by such disasters as Typhoon Haiyan.
Euronews reports that a Filipino American businessman has developed a low cost foldable single unit home with a steel frame. It can be constructed in 15 minutes.
Known as the butterfly house, the home reminds me of a pop up tent–only this is something sturdier.
“What makes the butterfly house unique is that it combines the ability to respond quickly to a disaster scenario but at the same time it is also a full steel frame structure which means it is a highly durable structure, it gives the people a sense of stability, a sense of safety when they are in it,” says Rogelio “Vonz” Santos Jr, the inventor of the Butterfly House.
You can watch video of the butterfly house being put together on Euronews.
