La modularidad aplicada a un modelo de vivienda emergente

Abstract

The modular design applied to a transient prototype of an emergent house is a result of the analysis about existing problems in countries susceptible to natural disasters, usually focusing on the issue of life quality in disasters and the lack of interest in the human welfare in design thinking. The design can’t be indifferent to human welfare, that’s why we designed for a specific user, however, in the process usually the user’s needs and requirements are missing, becominng this in a wonderful idea, but not functional for a user who requires specific components. The present project consider the habitability, in a model of temporary shelter as a fundamental part of its development, furthermore the quality of life as the user's relationship with the surrounding environment is established, being able to satisfy several specific characteristics present in the daily human development, such as physical, biological, social and cultural characteristics, as well as a place to attend a weather protection and which can use it at their convenience. The use of modular structures and principles of ephemeral design allows using the benefits whose they count, such as adaptability, flexibility, portability, and the participation of affected people, for better use of the designed object.
