The current state of the global economy is the perfect backdrop against which to view the future. |
The pessimistic view held by many people regarding the economic structure of the world can now be deemed correct. This structure, constructed on a foundation of mortgage debt, as it collapses, reveals a cynical and manipulative system which exploits peoples essential need for secure shelter. |
It is now essential, in the face of this economic collapse, that efforts are made to create homes free of mortgage debt. This is the inspiration behind the EconoSpace Project. |
| Comprising 25 - 30sqm floor area, EconoSpaces can either be self-contained or conjoined to create larger buildings. |
The framing system of the EconoSpace is based on the construction of simple components and their assembly into a versatile structure. The video illustrates this process - from the laying of ground beams to the closing in of the roof. |
Once the frame has been roofed work can proceed on the cladding of the walls, the installation of windows, doors, insulation and services. |
EconoSpaces can be created on a small budget and within a timeframe suited to most people. Information on how you can create your own EconoSpace/s is currently being compiled. Progress on this will be reported in Sheltermaker. |
