ehc_ emergency habitat community
the starting concept is to a residential habitat, with high quality of living, for emergency situation. the complex is designed for the needs after environmental disaster. the proposal in this layout is organized inside a football field or a sports area, but the proposal itself is adaptable with different contextual conditions and morphologies. the basic elements are the industrial containers adapted for the new uses. this choice stems from to the huge number of container stoked in the harbours, the easy way to assembly and transport them, their good constructive characteristic. like big bricks are assembled for living, commercial, or school spaces. starting from some basic elements (living containers and sleeping containers) is possible to answer to several needs of the families. organized on two levels, the interstitial and distributive spaces are the new squares and public spaces where the community can re-find their own habits of collective living.
