That we can say without reservation. Joe Froese, Wall's research and development technician, has high hopes for the plastic houses. He's lived in Africa and Latin America and believes people will live in them. In the Third World, a house doesn't hold the same status as in North America, he says. You don't live in your homes as much there.
Social life is outside.
When the Cuba project ended, Wall invited Froese to Winnipeg. The intent was to work on improving the design of the solar ovens. When Froese showed up last September, he saw some prototype plastic buildings being constructed. In a sense it was in the same vein as the solar ovens - food and housing are very basic necessities. He knew too that many in Low Income Countries suffer from lack of decent housing.
