singapore-based WY-TO architects put their expertise to the test to create a shelter solution for the asian pacific region, where a staggering 42.9% of natural disasters occur. the ‘living shelter’ is an affordable, collapsible unit that’s easy to ship and can be assembled by small teams without tools.
the ‘shelter’ is naturally ventilated and doesn’t require a level surface to be built upon
the ‘shelter’ is based on the kampung house, typical of southeast asia. it features openings that ensure natural ventilation, can be built on uneven ground, and all included components can be dismantled and reused post-emergency. besides privacy and security, ‘living shelter’ incorporates basic needs such as solar electricity, water collection, and multi-purpose furnishings. WY-TO architects’ design will be presented at the 2016 venice architecture biennale, and is currently seeking project funds through indiegogo here.
