Places with Stormy Weather

If like Haiti, your single biggest issue is storm damage, let me suggest the following resources:

1. Customizing for Edge Cases on Project SRO 

2. Berk

3. Articles about yurts and round houses because round structures are more storm resistant than typical European style architecture. They also take about twenty percent less building material and are more energy efficient.

Here are a few resources to get you started:
