Could waste be designed as an investment in architecture?. According to the properties of plastic we could create architecture from what is no longer considered useful.

One of the most crucial issues for the immediate management of disaster events is the time in which the temporary housing for the victims is handled, assembled and arranged. Taking into consideration a rapid response, the shelter was designed as a 4-piece lightweight easily to transport and fast assembly during the emergency.

The connecting shelter pod is primary made of local PET plastic waste, eco-friendly and recycable materials and is designed to be self sustainable. The bold design allows you to interlock various pods onto one another in order to create long flowing structures that provide a little more space and privacy.
