$5,000 Paper House Renovates Shanty Town, Refugee Living

Gerd Niemoeller, inventor and the owner of Swiss-based The Wall AG, has devised a relatively inexpensive and lightweight paper home (approximately 36 square meters/400 square feet) for the poor and otherwise in need. The London Times reports:

Retailing for about $5,000 (£3,375), the house is supposed to brighten up Third World shantytowns and provide quick shelter for long-term refugees. The Universal World House can be used almost anywhere: light, easily assembled, environmentally friendly, earthquake-proof and, crucially in the age of recession, a bit of a bargain.
