Site Update 

Added the article Third World Ingenuity and the Legacy of the Urban Nomads to the Gallery. This article details my exploration into the light modular building technologies of the Urban Nomads as a means to overcome the obstacle of the SSA's prohibition on savings through incremental stockpiling of components for a home, as is often done in the Third World. This is one of the most promising strategies to achieving non-toxic housing I have explored, its chief limitation being a lack of facilities to do the structural experimentation needed to devise a practical building system.
