Sandbag shelter wins architecture prize

Karim sez: "We often don't think of temp shelters getting prestigious architecture awards - but this project out of California won a prize from the Aga Khan Award for Architecture. Cool design and sustainable and easy to make." Link

UPDATE: Derek sez "Just saw the Sandbag Shelter link you dropped on the Boingx2 site. If you click over to the indicated page, check out the 4th pic on the top of the page (listed as photo 6 at the bottom). Its the one with the completed huts. Look in the background about 2/3 to the right. You'll see (what appears to be) an airplane about half a second from a ground smashing explosion. The smoke trail looks to start in the upper left then you see it headed straight down and the plane is just above the mountain horizon when the pic was snapped. Bizarre timing, eh?"

UPDATE:Hayes sez: "It's a piece of string or rope hanging from the line that you can see in the left side of the picture."
