Summary:

Part of research done in minimum cost housing during 1972. The main activity described is construction of a self-sufficient habitable low-cost house using unusual materials and new construction methods such as interlocking sulphur blocks and sulphur titles, simple use of wood and asbestos sheets in new forms. Although its faults challenge further experimentation the project more than fulfilled expectations. See revised edition for inclusion of excerpts from "The Problem is", the first publication of the Minimum Cost Housing Group" - 1971.
