We Can Do This
Gilchrist, Texas after Hurricane Ike. 2008. One house survived. One house was built to withstand the storm. This house was not an IGS project*, but it is a real life example of the success that preventative building methods can have. Just imagine 3 or 4 or 40 more houses surviving the storm, like this one.
(Read the amazing CNN story about this house here)
Greensberg, Kansas after an F5 tornado. 2007.
Almost nothing survived, but the silo stood tall (as you can see in the background).
Seeing this, designers and engineers decided to build a house shaped like a silo.
This house was not an IGS project*, but these photos taken during a site visit by IGS's Founder show the incredible engineering, creativity and material concepts that we have available to us today. The ingenuity and fortitude of projects like these, to rebuild our future to the best of our ability, are the heart of IGS's purpose.
And here is how we do it: How IGS works
