Desh | Oct 8 2009

Responding to Architecture for Humanity’s call for sustainable prefabricated home designs, designers from the world over suggested some remarkably futuristic concepts. After being asked to limit their designs to 37 meters-square space, they came up with low-cost solutions to best utilize the skimpy area. Mobius Architects’ Ecomobi was adjudged as the top entry for its lightweight housing and green roofs. The pictorial, after the jump, includes the shortlisted entries of the design competition.
