Shelter Me

Design a temporary emergency shelter for deployment in a natural disaster

In the past two years, widespread catastrophic events have called forth large-scale relief efforts throughout both urban and rural areas of the world. How would you design an emergency relief structure to be used in the relief efforts of a natural disaster, such as a flood, earthquake or hurricane?

If your design is geared towards a recurrent scenario in a particular region, you must specify the location and scenario and outline how your scheme is tailored towards the situation and conditions.

Judging Criteria:
How the design accommodates basic needs and supplies, such as insulation, sanitation and first aid
The structure's ability to resist severe environmental conditions
Ease of delivery to the disaster zone
Ease of construction, dismantling, storage and re-use
The potential for mass production and distribution
Environmental impact
