would like to nominate Kiko Thébaud to the GSBN list. Kiko is a
Haitian-American architect who has been in discussion with me/PAKSBAB regarding
a straw bale house project in Haiti. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Kiko
was born and raised in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Prior to coming to the
United States for his university education, he was involved in the building
industry in Haiti with a focus on the construction of low cost housing.
Kiko has over twenty-two years of experience as an architect, during which time
he has worked for nationally recognized architecture and urban design firms in
the Boston area and on his own projects. In 1994, he established Atelier
Thébaud, a design firm with experience primarily in residential projects along
with some commercial buildings. In 2001, his awareness of, and concern
for the building industry’s impact on the environment led him to conduct
research toward more sustainable and passive energy methods of construction
with a view to introducing these methods to Haiti among other countries.
Kiko holds a Master of Architecture in Urban Design from Harvard University,
and a Bachelor of Architecture from the Boston Architectural Center.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>I
believe Kiko’s membership in the GSBN would greatly benefit the project
in Haiti and that he would be a thoughtful contributor to this list. His
