What to do, what to do!

Today’s uproar at Twitter, besides the ice hockey, Hide and Brash, concerns the temporary housing to be provided for Cantabrians…

@five15design Once again #EQNZ post quake relief takes a comic turn for the worse http://bit.ly/ewRNCY with these offensive house designs – fark me

@10PARK Brownlee country *sigh

@five15design I think I puked in my mouth a little when I saw them. It’s so freaking typical of NZ sweet jesus why is AVERAGE & EASY the way @10PARK

@10PARK @five15design Twizel repeats

@ronindotca @five15design gross and braindead

@five15design @10PARK but the lesson from Twizel is temporary can last for decades not years. They were good for a short time (well built though – hot)

@ronindotca @five15design @10park it’s a fucking double wide with a pitched roof

@five15design … and really offensive. EVERYTHING that is wrong with NZ is encapsulated in those house designs for #EQNZ relief @ronindotca

@10PARK @five15design in any language or historic view this is an assault on the good people

@sarahbutcher @five15design @10PARK Those houses are awful.

@DawgBelly @five15design good grief… Why not just use kitset garages…

@10PARK @sarahbutcher @five15design @ronindotca CRAVEN http://bit.ly/ewRNCY

@five15design @10PARK yeah they’ve already put up with enough. WTF is up with the no GibBoard walls – they are good? It’s insanity I tell ya,

@10PARK @five15design it’s too sad #designdies ;_;

@AxlVanGok @five15design lol! (or you cry) “Houses like those built last century inspired Jennian Homes …” … um yeaaah … inspired

@10PARK @AxlVanGok who does this stuff *implores !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@sarahbutcher @10PARK @five15design @ronindotca Guess they’ll also end up being built facing the wrong way so won’t be passively heated either.

@10PARK i turns my music up loud (drowns out the sight)

@AxlVanGok @10PARK someone who needs a degree in architecture/design … or a seminar … or read a web page on proportion and composition …
