GCIA Emergency Phase

Initial emergency housing built from shipping containers, by Green Container International Aid.


     An expert in sustainable design, Argentine architect Carlos Levinton has led efforts to engineer unique circular houses built from tires. These domed structures can be erected by unskilled workers in one day and, when built from used tires, have material costs of just $100 each. Levinton is now soliciting donations from tire manufacturers and mobilizing forces to begin construction.
