slüm

Check out Slüm, an interesting look at making your home liveable when you're in a poverty stricken country (or just poverty stricken general area). The strangest part about the site isn't the thrown together house designs or lean-to style beds, but rather the superbly light and lush photography. What a kick in the shins it would be to have some random company like Benetton send some expensive photographers down to your "hovel" to photograph it. It's not quite exploitation, because they are praising the goods, but it's close.
