We previously mentioned Design Indaba, where 10 architectural teams were challenged to "provide innovative and dynamic design solutions for the low-cost housing sector;" the first house by Luyanda Mpahlwa is under construction. (TreeHugger here, construction photos on dezeen here). Now we get to see some of the other entries, yet to be built.
