Re: Temp Shelters
a friend of our's son makes yurts.  I love yurts.
To be understood about the valley is that under most conditions such a structure should be fine. I wonder how hot it gets inside, though, especially for "the large amount of light they let in". I doubt it's a problem, though, and it would only be a problem in the really hot months.
One might forego focusing on the ruins for housing, especially at first, if one has a good yurt and doesn't mind living in one.
How expensive? A regular tent also might be enough and is a lot cheaper. I've had my cheap tent up on a ridge, i.e. the worst winds, and standing fine after i came back to it a week later. Keeping the tent taut is the key.
I especially like the The GroDome™. This could be VERY useful to keep out the worst of the heat and the wind.
$ 2000...

Re: Temp Shelters
Yurts and Gers are cool, we looked into buying one for Portugal, alt, hough they can be expensive, but that being said if you are in a environment that is warm all year then in theory you could skip buying the felt liner which always generally bumps up the price.
I also like the idea of the shelter system 'tents', I would imagine that they would get warm, although it does state on their website that you can either site the tent under a tree or purchase a shade sheet that would help keep the structure cool.
I think both options have their pros and cons, but essentially the tents would only really be used for sleeping and relaxing and we could use other tents/areas as communal activities.
Just some thoughts.

pallet housing
Buy Plans for the Pallet House.
The average life of a Refugee camp is 7 years, with some exceeding beyond 50 years. There is a need for an alternative shelter to the typical tent solution that can transform a temporary living condition into a permanent home.
Pallet House by I-Beam Design, was conceived as a transitional shelter for returning Refugees.
