Shelter design encompasses the creation of safe, dignified spaces for diverse populations and contexts. This includes emergency response structures, permanent housing solutions, and adaptive reuse projects that address homelessness, displacement, and community needs.

The community explores innovative approaches to shelter through computational design, material experimentation, and social impact. Work ranges from kinetic adaptive structures and earthquake-resistant designs to conversions of existing buildings and low-cost construction using recycled materials.

The Silk Road Housing

Through the ages, a shelter simply meant protection. Protection which is divided into two main criteria: the first, it needs to be fast and efficient, meets the need for a quick protocol that arises from the earthquake problem, needs to be agile and easy in its assembly. The second, the transformation of the shelter into a permanent home.

SAIRA: Shared And Individual Response for Action

A natural disaster disrupts people's pursuit of happiness and forces them to restart their lives from scratch. What we need today is a resilience strategy that is not just focused on generating housing stock but looks to empower people to take positive action during any disaster in the future.

Home for Homelessness

Our project is dedicated to providing a shelter for homeless animals, homeless people and impending food. The main function of this shelter is to adopt stray animals, but at the same time, it provides shelter for the local homeless people, so that they can become the staff of the shelter and work and live in society with dignity.

Earthquake shelter design

This design is a foldable refuge house design. The structural system is based on the study of mechanical structure. The double-layer membrane structure can perfectly match the expansion and expansion of the structural system, making it feasible.The purpose of rapid deployment can be achieved by means of centripetal contraction and expansion and air drop.

HE[x]AL

HE[x]AL’s vision is to provide a safe, secure and transitionary home for homeless teenagers in Jackson, Mississippi. Our design aims to build Trust, Dignity and Ability: to address deep-seated issues in these teenagers, restore identity and sense of empowerment, and provide them the capacity to upskill themselves and be independent in facing challenges.

Every night more than 4500 students, under the age of 18, sleeps on a park bench, beneath an archway, footpath, or inside a cardboard box. Along with providing a comfortable and lively home, HopeWay tries to integrate its neighborhoods with the community and to offer a little more hope to those who think they've lost it.
