Umm...
I can't decide if I find this neat, amusing, or a personal nightmare. (probably the latter sprinkled with amusement)
Better than Beach Balls.
Dude. Wow.
The only thing that could bake this better (besides being high) is if the Double Rainbow guy was there to witness the giant bubbles all the way across the beach.
"As supplies come in from throughout the world, the shipping pallets for those supplies can be erected to make walls, ceilings, and floors. By covering these structures in locally-sourced finishing materials it is possible to create a quality shelter that will stand long enough for families to build permanent housing."
It's another structure built out of shipping pallets! I Beam's sustainable emergency center was originally designed as temporary housing for refugees of the Baltic War, but is now being considered as a solution to the problem of housing people displaced by natural disaster, plagues, famine, political/economic strife, or war.
[PS is anyone else wondering what the heck that awesomeness in the background is?]
