Today I was watching an magazine regarding the Oklahoma disaster and had the surprise of find a photo of rebuilding in Joplin, using wood framing. Looks like TRADITION is stronger than experience, how many more houses need to be smash by strong winds, or burned by fire, hoe many lost of life, how many memorabilia lost, how many property destroy?. To make think that building with lumber is not intelligent as the growing of population had change the conditions of security.
I think let the trees in place cleaning the atmosphere of CO2. And build with steel or concrete, which can be designed to resist natural disasters, use the expertise of structural professionals to find solutions to build dwellings designed by architects: strong heavy, and lower cost. And built in short time.
I have some practice building fast, low cost, houses, schools, hotels; if some questions are, I have answers.
