A-frame cabins built with help from kids

Good News Notes:

“Architecture is typically an adult’s game, but a couple of A-frame structures erected in a new rural park prove otherwise. Built with help from a dozen families in Mogan River Valley in Huzhou, China, these tiny cabins embraces DIY architecture as a mode of education and recreation.

Designed by Wiki World and  Advanced Architecture Lab, the modular buildings are built from open-source plans using a kit of cross-laminated timber panels and frames. In under six hours, kids and parents were able to erect two simple, tent-like structures slightly elevated aboveground by timber stumps.
