SHELLTER

It must

cater for 4 to 5

people.

The minimum

dimensions are

16m2, with 1.8 m inheight for 60% of

the space in the

structure.

materials used

for the shelter

are 100%

renewable, they

characteristics

like hardne, fire

The eight

stages of the

lifecycle

Refuges camp need not only

shelters but emergency

hospitals, schools long term

and health and nutrition

centers. A solution for the

optimisation of the function is

that the modular structure can

increase in size to provide a

larger shelter.

Instructions are printed on the

cardboard panels to allow

intuitive construction which

removes waste from having a

instruction manual.

Furthermore ink-jet printing

technology allows us to printthe waterproof coating as well.

By using a structure with

tensional integrity we can

reduce weight mass by

removing any uneccessary

reinforcement.

During the manufacturing

process we will coat thecardboard to make it waterpro-

of and avoid another step of

the process.

The entire mass of packagingtransported is used in the final

product.

The europallet for stacking the

modulas is used for the furnitu-

re. Angled cardboard protects

the corners of the modulas and

is used for the connection pins.The modulas design using

origami based connections

allows the user to repair indivi-

dual panels.

Also a coating of natural glue

can be used to provide water-

proofing which enhancesdurability to the card.

When the lifespan of the

shelter ends the peoplecan recycled it in to furniture,

plantpots, etc; before

degrading sufficiently to go

back into nature.

The materials contain no toxic

or hazardous chemicals. The

process is more efficient as the

cardboard, informative graphics,

waterproof glue and the cuts for

the folds are all manufactured

in the same factory.
