Good evening,
Thank you for the update. Was wondering the purpose of this email if it has been cancelled till 2011. further information pending.
Many finalists have no exact clue on the purpose.

If possible please describe the expo.

the short version of BBBC (Build Back Better Communities) 

The official website is gone, and i cannot find anything at the Haiti gov site in French or English.

The Haitian Government months ago asked the world to come up with a small affordable house design

(for the sake of example $500 to $2500) that could be easily upscaled to thousands of homes/shelters.

And there where over a thousand designs submitted, and the top 10 (???) designs are at the expo.

And they are going to send 4 billion to build thousand of these small housed for people that have lost there homes.

The BBBC expo/ conference is this weekend the 22 & 23 oct 2010 in PAP (Port au Prince), Haiti.

BUT EVEN THE PEOPLE WHO submitted design don't know the exact location where the BBBC expo/conference is.

I am hoping to send a friend in PAP to show & tell but we still have not figured the exact location.

I want as much detailed information as possible on all 1,000 designs or at least the top 25.

So I can learn from others SO I can help others.
