Re: [Origami] buildings from paper? Shigeru Ban on Emergency shelters made from paper

Karen Reeds is interested in information about "houses, shelters, buildings,
construction methods... using paper as the primary material" for a housing
project for homeless people in Trenton, as part of ScienceMentors 1:1 in
Trenton, New Jersey.

Karen, in a couple of occasions members have mentioned the project
Cardborigami through the mailing list. Might that be what you remember
seeing? Here's the projects URL: http://www.cardborigami.org/

Papercrete/Fibercrete - locally in New Mexico we have quite a few homes built 
by papercrete expert, Mike McCain.  A few resources that may be of interest

[Origami] buildings from paper? Shigeru Ban on Emergency shelters made from paper

Hi,  friends

I volunteer with ScienceMentors 1:1, a program in Trenton, New Jersey, that
gets high school kids doing science/environmental/engineering research
projects with adult mentors. One theme of this year's program is housing,
especially for homeless people in Trenton. (Some of the kids in the program
are or have been homeless.)

The work by Japanese architect, Shigeru Ban, with cardboard paper tubing is
an inspiration:
https://www.ted.com/talks/shigeru_ban_emergency_shelters_made_from_paper/discussion

Can you suggest other information on houses, shelters, buildings,
construction methods... using paper as the primary material, whether or not
they use origami?

I feel sure I have seen some (maybe even posted some to this list), but
can't locate them in my own origami files.

I'd also be glad to have suggestions of 3-D origami models of houses,
apartment buildings

Many thanks!

Karen
