Temporary Housing
The ideas behind our temporary structures are as follows. A bundle of materials is sent to a site in need of emergency housing. Local materials like concrete block or mud brick can be used for the foundation and the shipped materials are lightweight, affordable, and low impact environmentally. The shipping container itself, a canvas bundle bound with cable, can be used as part of the structure so no packing materials are needed.

Thanks to project partners and UO Architecture classmates Wyatt Hammer & Eric Lindstrom.
