EMERGENCY HOUSING MEXICO - A home for everyone

メキシコのNGOが仮設シェルターのアイディアを求めている。コンペへの登録人数によって登録料や賞金が変動する仕組み。

Description
The social catastrophe of Latin America has its epicenter in the popular settlements.
It is in Latin America, the most urbanized and unequal region in the world, where 104 million people live in popular settlements. Here, 1 of every 4 inhabitants of urban areas, lives in a slum, villa, favela or camp, in a situation of poverty. These populations must subsist by their own means, with the constant violation of their rights.
The aim of this project is to design a temporary shelter for those who don't have a place to live.
The main goals of this competition are:
- Reduce build times and the logistical difficulties that the current model present.
- Decrease the assembly complexity from the manufacturing process.
- Increase the lifespan of foundations and structures as well as improve the almost nonexistent thermal insulation.
- Facilitate the future growth of the house unit (modular).
- Increase the flexibility to locate the house’s doors and windows.
- Possibility to add extra modules to the house (bathroom, kitchen or others)
- Use sustainable and easy to get materials.
- Have a more liveable space as a house.
