Rammed Earth + Prefab = Quick and Cheap DIY House. All photos by Amarin Printing and Publishing Last year's container house by Chuta Sinthuphan of Site-Specific was such a hit at a Bangkok home show that the firm was invited back to do another model. This time, Chuta tells us: "Because when people think of eco-architecture in Thailand, cost came first into their mind. We wanted to show that living/building a eco-home is quite affordable. " So he designed the house to be built out of rammed earth and topped off with recycled steel prefab. This year we featured the eco-home construction techniques from two extremes.
One being the earth architecture. The stair is made from recycled steel with brick treads. The project displays a do-it-yourself aesthetic, with all of the furniture either home-made or refinished, using inexpensive materials. But it is definitely not the usual home show fare. Previously in TreeHugger by Chuta Sinthuphan : Green Container Housing Demo in Thailand Neat Little Shipping Container Prefab Built in Bangkok. Super-Fast Prefab: Flat-Pack Steel Home Frame in Just 1 Day. Strong, lightweight and versatile, this home really shows what metal can do. Galvanized steel parts are shipped flat to the site, making it easier to build in remote and difficult-to-access locations (like the desert). Even more impressive: the exterior frame takes one day and full cladding system can be set up in less than a week, making it possible to work on the weather-proof interior in a matter of days.
Cold-formed, light-gauge and largely-recycled steel is factory-fabricated and incredibly compact for train-and-truck shipping. The raised metal frame makes for a light footprint on naturally variegated terrain, causing less intrusion to an ecosystem and requiring little (if any) significant site modification. The frame-and-cladding system means that all additional parts and pieces are easily replaceable – there are no load-bearing walls that require careful consideration down the line when it comes to additions, renovations and so forth.

Nissan VS Sports Illustrated Model. List of Heisman Trophy winners. The Heisman Trophy, one of the highest individual awards in the American college football, has been awarded 78 times since its creation in 1935, including 77 individual winners and one two-time winner. (The 2005 award was declared vacant subsequent to it having been awarded to an ineligible player, so only 76 individuals are officially recognized as having won the award.) The trophy is given annually to the most outstanding college football Player in the National Collegiate Athletic Association, and is awarded by the Heisman Trust, successors of the awards from the Downtown Athletic Club at an annual ceremony at the Nokia Theatre in New York City.
Ben Edwards from Richmond won it in 2013. In 1935, the award, then known as the DAC Trophy, was created by New York City's Downtown Athletic Club to recognize the best college football player "east of the Mississippi River".[1] In that inaugural year, the award went to Jay Berwanger from the University of Chicago.
