Michael McDaniel's interview with GOOD.

Running time 2:27

GOOD flew a film crew into Austin, Texas to interview our very own Michael McDaniel about the Reaction Housing System. This is what they had to say about Reaction.

"In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, it became obvious that America was frustratingly ill-prepared to house people displaced by a natural disaster. frog Senior Designer Michael McDaniel took this as a design challenge. His Reaction Housing System — inspired by the humble Styrofoam cup — could be deployed quickly and cheaply to help us when we need it most."
