Designed by Italian architect Renato Vidal, the MADI home can be built in six to seven hours with the help of a crane and a three-person construction crew.

The pre-fabricated, earthquake-resistant home could come in handy for disaster situations.
   Prices range from $US33,560 to $US74,300.

Building a traditional home can take anywhere from a few weeks to months, depending on the model and specifications. But in recent years, a growing number of architects have turned to pre-fabricated construction - where parts are built off-site and assembled on-site) - making the process a lot quicker and oftentimes cheaper.

Italian architect Renato Vidal's MADI home is an A-frame house that can go up in under seven hours with the help of a crane and a three-person construction crew.

As Curbed notes, the homes could act as temporary housing for victims of disaster, since it can be built so quickly and doesn't require foundational soil. It can also be used for residential or hospitality purposes. The home's galvanised steel frame helps it resist earthquakes.
