It's not exciting to look at, but it is easy to build; the Veerhuis concept, above, is an emergency shelter made from styrofoam, wood and plaster. Two untrained people can put up a 50-meter house like the one shown above in two days, says the Holland Modern Housing Company, which will be bringing kits for 5,000 of the houses to Afghanistan.

Heard a story on NPR this morning about a robot that can build an entire house in 1 day.
It may be awhile before that would be a feasible solution, particularly in disaster stricken areas, but worth mentioning.
For your information: the picture of the house is not house made of EPS (Styrofoam), it's a mistake from the journalist. For more exiting houses, take a look at www.veerhuis.biz. De rest of the story is correct except for the picture.
Best regards,
Saskia Veerman
