Here’s a project I’m super excited about.
Alex and his family lost nearly everything to hurricane Katrina, and he’s working to rebuild his home and his community using some unconventional resources.
We couldn’t talk about his project in person, so I called him at his home in Mississippi. It’s the first time I’ve done a phone interview, and I think it turned out alright!
Click here for the interview - 13:30, 13MB
Click here for the complete phone call - 29:52, 30MB
Linkage:
- Renaissance Ronin - his blog, with heaps of information about the project
- More about shipping container architecture
- If you’re in Portland, check out the Rebuilding Center as a great resource for architectural salvage and sustainable construction.
I’m always on the look out for people who are changing the world. If you know someone who fits that description, let me know!
(and, I’m always open to suggestions on how to improve the site and the interviews!)
