Pallets are omnipresent. (We) have found pallets not only in the small architectures of informal settlements in Buenos Aires, Istanbul, and Panama City, but in the blogs of self-builders throughout North America and Europe...Urban pioneers in Detroit, Camden and other failing Rust Belt cities reclaim pallets...But none of these builders have negotiated the gap between informal and formal economies with a permanent pallet building authorized by a building permit. - Wes Janz, Cabin(s) in the Woods — The Speakeasy: A Curatorial Research Blog

I am a strong proponent for the use and reuse of materials, like pallets, for building materials. A couple years ago I began developing a shelter from pallets. Inspired by the work done at the Rural Studio

The opportunities are endless when we look at adaptive reuse!
Nice project, Alexander!
Thank you. And thank you for posting the project and article. Perhaps we could put together a pallet reuse and design competition. :)
how do you keep the bugs out?
