Overviewteamupdatesworkspacecalendarfiles 

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
This project intents to stablish an easy, fast, light wight and economic response to emergency disasters that are so common in our environments leaving people with no economical strength in a precarious position. This shelter intends to be easy to transport and to include all the basic elements to support a pretty normal style of live for a couple of months -It is known that affected people should be relocated as soon as possible to an permanent facility, but this process often takes several months or even years- this provides the platform to return to normal activities in an easy way without the stress of not knowing where the person or family belongs. One of the thing that are overlooked in this type of projects is the necessity for privacy and to feel comfortable for long periods of time, that is why every module is provided with a basic pantry and complete bathroom to avoid conflicts among the people sharing the settlement.
