   Looks like they are getting better all the time. Love this idea and glad it turned into a reality, Bet lots of others are too.

   Can flatpack refugee housing be safer, faster, and more durable?

   Hmmm, still not sure if they fixed this…. “Only 5,000 of the 15,000 shelters that UNHCR bought in 2015 have been deployed, meaning that two thirds of all shelters manufactured, worth a total of $12.5 million, have yet to be used.

   The rest have remained in depots while it carried out an investigation into fire safety and other problems, UNCHR told Dezeen.”
