Use debris from Nepal earthquake to build a house

Do you remember the last earthquake in Nepal that killed thousands of people, and razed hundreds of thousands of houses in this gentle country? Up to now, Nepal's relief and reconstruction efforts are still happening day by day and it will be very long to overcome the damage of this disaster.

Build houses from debris in Nepal earthquake

A Japanese architect, Mr. Shigeru Ban, introduced the idea of ​​making a wooden prefabricated house, and used stone bricks and debris from ruins to reinforce the house.

This idea is as follows:

Light wooden frame, cheap, easy to transport, these frames can be assembled to create different small and usable areas.

Can build a single house like this.

Or into a chain of townhouses.

The roof will be made of paper tubes, locally produced

House frames and roofs are light and easy to assemble, can be erected very quickly, then covered with plastic roof temporarily for temporary shelter.

After that, the landlord will reinforce the walls of stone bricks and debris collected from the ruins, gradually making the walls and the house solid, maybe many years to fail.

The use of light materials such as paper, wood . will help reduce damage if an earthquake occurs again.

The project will start in Nepal in August.
