Yes Carl,
The problem is the mind-blowing figures of homeless since just a week. In the best scenario there should already be some kind of temporary houses in storage to send where it is needed right away.
And as you say, a house that can be easy transported, built and not too expensive. But I suspect that a great number of people will have to live in them for a very long time, since they are also left without their assets and means of income. So the houses probably have to be good enough to withstand several years of daily use and all sorts of tropical weather conditions.
I think the challenge is to design a house that will be good enough for you or me to live in and at the same time possible to build fast, cheap and easy to transport. Preferably with basic interior fittings.
Next is to get acceptance by local authorities, get financial aid or commercial sponsors to pay for them and maybe at a later stage set up production plants locally.
When you think of it, there are such high demands so even if such projects are developed by many teams around the world, they will still all be needed.
Both now and in the future...
