As you can see, the technology now exists that can allow anyone to construct a tent made of concrete canvas. It's a material that has all of the elements of concrete, but is flexible enough to be molded into any shape. Add water, inflate, let it dry and boom.... a new building is born.

The applications are limitless. With this technology, you could build permanent structures in a fraction of the time needed for traditional building techniques. Once completed, cut holes for windows and add interior walls to make separate rooms. Put up a quick building in your backyard; build a concrete cabins at a youth camp; erect semi-permanent buildings at a refugee site. I don't know about you, but I think this kind of ingenious creativity needs to go on the market asap!

We'll call it the "perm-a-tent".
