The challenge is to design a transportable, sustainable shelter that can support a sizable community and requires little maintenance. Making it ideal for deployment to any disaster–stricken area lacking basic facilities and it also helps restore personal space and a sense of dignity for the victims.
Form the basis for the Future Shack, a self–contained, modular refugee–shelter unit. It can be mass–produced with a minimum of materials and is easily stockpiled, making it a versatile emergency–shelter unit.The size should be roughly 18 sq.m. in size, however the design should be able to extend up to 40 sq.m. if the family grows. A person requires 3 sq.m. to 3.5 sq.m. of room, hence an 18 sq.m. tent can accommodate up to 5 people, while a 40 sq.m. tent can accommodate up to 11 people.It should be easily assembled as needed within 6 hours or less on almost any terrain –with no excavation, which means construction does not add to soil erosion problems or create additional damage to the area.Depending on the water collection solution of your design, it can also include a universal sink and shower. Keep in mind that materials have to be cheap and easy to install.When the sheltersare no longer required, they can be quickly disassembled and relocated around the world.
