Ex slum dweller showing her new home in Freedom Park

The home is a prize winning design by MMA architects. When I asked her what was the most important improvement of this home over her previous shack, she responded without hesitation: "The NOISE!". What do you mean? "When it rains, there is no noise" she explained. Living under a sheet metal roof is not only too hot and too cold and dark but also very noisy. Improving the qualities of roofs can yield enormous improvement in living quality at very modest cost.
