I have always admired their creations. But, in this case I feel they could have used a little more imagination and come up with something that looked more ‘home’ and less a car paint booth. Also, they could have used used ideas from nomadic people ranging from Siberia to India and from rural folk living in tropical regions, and come up with a design that was sturdy, catered to all kinds of weather, had a life of about two years and with repairs up to five, and cost much less to develop and produce. That way it would require less funding to set up a refugee camp and no one would overstay their welcome.
