Tim –
I am afraid I more than disagree, ”we” are not the client…
As much as I enjoy debate and the hashing out of ideas, it is not to anything or anyone’s benefit to endlessly discuss what this effort is to be or become in this medium. Yes it is the same medium that spawned the idea, but it is not one which is conducive to debate, the discussion is far too indirect and delayed to allow for efficient debate.
Cohesion is growing around an idea, and I see nothing wrong with allowing it to.
The idea is simply to choose a design for a small but permanent domicile of very light timber, one that can be quickly cut and easily raised, one joined as simply as possible. One which the recipients could be reasonably expected to replicate so they in turn might help their neighbors.
That there is a need for such a thing , a way to permanently house untold and nameless thousands in a way which is easily repeatable yet still reinforces some sense of human dignity and helps move people out of temporary camps and helps them help themselves and in turn helps restore their lives direction, is simply indisputable
Cohesion is growing around the multiple mini rendezvous model..
Cohesion is growing around an idea and nothing more…
A worthy NGO is the client, and they with their hard gleaned knowledge of the effected region/s and it/’s socio-political environment/s will determine if our idea is worthy of them
Your point # 5 is already part of the idea
The question was realized when homes fell down around peoples lives . It matters not if they were washed or fell away, they are still gone..
The answer is…ours to help find.
