Haha its a disaster house... ie a prefab house made for people to live in wile they wait for their homes to be rebuilt after a disaster.

That is the finished model... its triangualr in shape for strength and the bits you see rubber banned together are the peices that make up teh house. It is designed to fit into a shipping container and that was what i was trying to demonstrate.

Its actually amde out of perspex... with the tape being waterproof tape used to seal the house from the weather... but it is also removable so you can decontract and use the house again. I have had better ways suggested to me more recently... but thats what i came up with!

No they choose the best ones for display. There are regional displays (Tamworth, Dubbo etc) and then there is the PowerHouse Museum where the best 12ish go
