home without a place

'home without a place' considers a design opportunity for post-disaster housing. based on a kitset (and therefore easily relocatable) design, it is composed of five elements: steel RHS frames with interior loops; inflatable main body; pump; pegs; and rope.

the inflatable main body is pumped up, attached to the frames with the rope which are, in turn, attached to the ground by pegs and rope. once it is taut, the main body no longer needs to remain inflated.

the design allows modular arrangements according to community and/or family customs; while providing the basic elements required to make a shelter. disaster survivors can therefore use the elements as they wish to create a temporary shelter they can feel comfortable with.
