A 22x8x8 Solution?

I found a newspaper clipping from 2005 about an awesome design called FutureShack. It is still an awesome concept which uses solar power and shipping crates to create healthy housing. Architect Sean Godsell noted that it would be more useful if he received calls from humanitarian organizations rather than museums seeking to display his work, which also included a park bench house and a bus shelter house. After learning more about the 12 million displaced refugees at a World Relief night, I heartily agree with him. I wonder where and what impact his design is having in 2008?
