DESCRIPTION:Berkeley architect Martin Hammer will show slides and discuss the recent 
 construction of a sustainable prototype house in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. The 
 "Ti Kay Pay" (Small Straw House) is the first strawbale building in Haiti, 
 and offers a safe, affordable, sustainable, and culturally appropriate 
 (re)building solution for Haiti, as it recovers from the January 2010 
 earthquake that killed 230,000 and left over 1.5 million homeless. It uses 
 in-country materials including rice straw, bamboo, wood from pallets, site 
 soil, and aggregate from crushed rubble from collapsed buildings. It also 
 features rainwater catchment and photovoltaic systems. Martin is leading a 
 small team of design and building professionals for Builders Without 
 Borders to develop and promote sustainable building solutions in Haiti. 
 Other team members will be present.\n
