you should read the Wired Article as well http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0, ... 72,00.html

Just imagine: relief situation like the Tsunami. Some relief workers needs housing and a surgical tent in a remote area of Indonesia. All they do is say how many "tents" they need, four hours later the helicopter drops them, 24 hours later everything is in place.

Wow.

Now if they could make it biodegradable as well then you wouldn't have to deal with all this funny little buildings being left every where. If these to masters students came up with for a project image what can be done with it when some big ££££ of $$$$$ if you prefer gets behind it.

Instant 6 storey condos all with the wave of my magic garden hose.
