High volume semi automatized on-site production of sustainable refugee shelters

In times of crisis and conflict, the importance of sustainable and efficiently producible emergency shelters, which enable a life in safety and dignity, in-creases. The construction of such accommodation must meet the require-ments of various areas, including minimum standards of humanitarian organ-ization, structural requirements and manufacturing restrictions. The shelter solution presented here, which results from these requirements, is intended to be a sustainable alternative to existing emergency accommodation, especially tents. In order to actually replace tents in some scenarios, the accommoda-tion must be able to be manufactured industrially in large series. Various concept studies were carried out for this purpose. The principle was: “form follows function & follows production”
