@osnapjack yes...i'm agree...just want to critisize some negative side from this social project...They should seriously do the need asessement before they want to help a community all over the world because it concerning many people needs...outsiders ideas sometimes didn't match with insiders wants otherwise their ideas is to help the insider..will be sad if thay not synchronize it together isn'it? =)
i also thankful to everyone who help them have a shelter again

@elvieken if u know their house before, u will not telling me this...their house before was wide, big, and also permanent with bricks...their house before not built with cardboard or tin shaks...it looks like that because of the earthquake...they are not living in a house which like a slum...how do u know bout that? Jogja is not a Slum Area...this is a cultural city which their house is clean..Of course they still can do cultural but the space is so limited..so it just about a cultural space...

looks like the town may get boring

@rengganis21 that maybe true but at least they have shelter
-
It seems like the needs of the people were looked at, no homes, no shelter and they came in and built homes better then they lived in before. They can still do cultural with this or are you telling me living in cardboard and tin shaks is better for their culture? It was only a means for them to go from, not the ends to the means. I bet in a few years it will look like the slum it was before.

- you could use a pile of dirt or sand for the form, if you didn't have a airform or the power to keep it inflated
Search on the internet for Monolithic Dome Institute. They might be able to help you deal with your bank.

the negative side from this project is...all of this house, in fact, are not suitable for javanese culture...when day and night is come, the temperature inside is really high..it made the people who live here is really feel uncomfortable...this house is lack of air circulation...and then, their needed of kitchen is not given a 100% from this project...they make their own larger kitchen after few month they live there behind their house because hey need a place to cook with a wod..gas is too exp
