Not him, but the "trend" in the 1970s was for portable/quick assemble shelters. there is
no papercrete in the book below, but no reason why it can't be utilized.
There was a whole range of cardboard domes and homes in the late 70's & there is a
book out of Canadian Univ. Called "Paper Houses" has patterns for building a house of
cardboard, with bolts and hinges.
