>[Baptiste Marx] shares his take on designing emergency structures using PVC pipe in a way that requires an absolute minimum of added parts. CINTRE (French, English coverage article here) is his collection of joint designs, with examples of how they can be worked into a variety of structures. PVC pipe is inexpensive, widely available, and can often be salvaged in useful quantities even in disaster areas because of its wide use in plumbing and as conduits in construction. It can be cut with simple tools, and once softened with heat, it can be re-formed easily.

I've tried building things with pvc pipes before and I don't recommend it whatsoever.

I built a hoop-house greenhouse out of them once. It worked shockingly well but I needed it to be flexible because of the wind. It held up for the season without issue and would have been great for the next year too (with new thicker plastic) if I didn't end up moving.
