SELF SAFE MODULAR HOUSE
A self-safe modular house is a compact, disaster-resilient housing unit made from prefabricated modules that are easy to assemble, repair, and expand. It is designed to provide safe shelter during floods, cyclones, and earthquakes using local, sustainable materials. The house is affordable, adaptable, and suitable for vulnerable communities in disaster-prone
SHELTERED: Alternative Shelter and Urban Framework

My shelter/My
Very nice! I love the Idea!
explanations: 1- The concept behind the design: The general idea was to propose a project of individual housing, for the homeless, so that they feel at home, free of their movements, and free in their space, we tried to avoid the vertical construction , so as not to disfigure the direct environment of the project. 2- Explain the functionality: The functionality of the project is meant to be simple, because A complex project makes the space hostile to children or people who need guidance and assistance. So the project will be divided into two parts; a front block with all the activities necessary for the homeless to help them move forward, evolve and build themselves, and another part that of accommodation, with individual housing, that the occupant can appropriate and develop according to these needs. 3- Explain the movement of users: The movement within the project is fluid and above all easy to read, to give confidence to the people who are there and not to complicate their movement. 4- Construction technique: The designed shelter is made of wood, constructed in a way that makes its provision urgently possible so its construction will only take a few hours. 5- Ventilation and aeration: The accommodations are well ventilated and lit on the first day, two plots of vegetable gardens will be made available to the occupant either for his own production or for sale at the market created near the entrance. We have thus given great importance to the quality of the space, its ventilation and its sunshine to give these people in need the feeling of having a decent home.
thank you emna mrad i hope that the members of the jury will agree with you
SaveHouse (foldable house)
the design consist of rigid and non-rigid volumes brought together by creat creating an annex housing in other to provide spaces for the homeless. The idea for the annex foldable extension of volumes meant for additional purposes in times of influx/rise in number of the homeless children (the number may vary from time to time).

Very OPOD with a engineered twist. Like it!
An elegant and simple design that looks beautiful and is functional. The design is thoughtful towards the environment, taking resources from rain, dew and sun, while also being resistant to wind and having a light footprint on the ground. The windows make the small space feel larger, and some flexibility in the interior layout could have been an interesting addition.
