Fr. Marc,
ReplyDeleteI just had a few questions regarding this roof. I am currently an architecture student at the University of Cincinnati and part of a studio that is working on a structure for another Orphanage in Haiti (Good Shepherd Orphanage).
My two questions are:
Was this roof damaged at all in the earthquake?
Will this roofing type structurally support a second story?
Thanks,

John,
ReplyDeleteThe kitchen is a new building, I don't believe it will support a second story. I just wanted to chime in here... here is a link to a building system that will not be damaged by an earthquake and will support a second story. This system is already being used in Haiti and it's a little different than the system that Espwa is using. But I believe Espwa will be also using this system soon :-) http://www.globalpanelsolutions.com/index.htm
