I really like the idea of using crates for insulation from the ground. I assume there's an overflow production in the area where these houses have been built. Same for paper and cardboard.
The modularity of the elements allow building anything really, and checking Ban's site he expands the application of these elements to assemble villas, cathedrals and entire rescue camps.
Thank you for sharing, really inspiring
