A. Portability
1. Water Shelter http://www.design21sdn.com/competitions/7/entries/988/gallery/535
8?show_all_entries=false The group thinks that this design employs
characteristics suitable for immediate shelter
through its portable design. The small packaging
enables it to be transported conveniently to any
place in any circumstance, be it through land,
water or air.
2. Lightweight Emergency Shelter http://www.design21sdn.com/competitions/7/entries/947/gallery?sho
w_all_entries=false The Lightweight Emergency Shelter s design
made of polyester mesh is lightweight and portable.
The compact design allows for easy set up for
immediate shelter and relief. In its compact size, it can
accommodate a 6-8 people.
3. Sanctuary http://www.design21sdn.com/competitions/7/entries/652/gallery?show
_all_entries=false
Made from biodegradable material, this
emergency shelter is compact and lightweight. Its
flat compressed state allows it to be transported
in bulk to any location. Even in its compact design,
the material enables it to weather the wear and
tear of any condition.

B. Innovative Design
1. Temporary Emergency Shelters http://weburbanist.com/2008/11/12/lifesaving-temporary-
emergency-shelters-buildings/
This 2-storey shelter is deliverable via
truck or cargo. The design enables for a
center-piece to pop-up for private spaces,
giving an empty public space below. It
maximizes the space it occupies.
2. Carter Williamson's Flat-Packed
Emergency Shelter Debuts in
Martin Place in Sydney http://inhabitat.com/carter-williamsons-flat-
packed-emergency-shelter-debuts-in-martin-
square-in-sydney/ The prefabricated house
with telescopic feet enables it to be
located in any site, even in uneven
terrain. The flatpack house allows
for photovoltaic systems and
rainwater collecting systems,
making it self-sufficient. This design
can house up to 10 people.
3. Flat Pack Tables Fold into Origami
Shelters http://inhabitat.com/flat-pack-tables-fold-into-origami-
shelters-in-the-event-of-a-disaster/
Converting tables into houses in
times of disasters is very efficient in
terms of portable innovative design.
These tables can be used as regular
furniture during regular days and
assembled into emergency shelters when
disasters strike.

C. Innovative Material Use
1. Expanding, Food Producing Airdrop Houses: http://webecoist.momtastic.com/2010/09/17/design-for-disaster-14-
emergency-shelter-concepts/ The Expanding, Food Producing Airdrop House is
a conceptual design that starts off as a 3m diameter
sphere. It uses a sponge-like material that would expand
into a 7m diameter sphere upon contact with floodwaters.
The potable water filtered by the material will then be
used to grow food and water the seeds embedded in the
walls. This material could be used as basis for future
emergency shelter design - instant shelter, instant food.
2. Concrete Canvas http://www.concretecanvas.com/
The concrete canvas enables the construction of inflatable concrete structures. The
construction of concrete canvas structures only require water and air. The material is a thin
flexible concrete which is also durable, waterproof and fire-resistant. The material can be
easily transported and assembled even by people without training.
3. Snake Shelter - inflatable modules http://www.design21sdn.com/competitions/7/entries/1001/gallery?show_
all_entries=false
The concept of the design is attributed to
the adaptive skin of the snake in any environment.
It is made of inflatable modules the support the
structure and allow for adaptation. The material
showcases temperature controlled air chambers
and reversible skin which allows for capturing or
repelling of heat to suit any circumstance.

D. Overall Design
1. Expanding, Food Producing Airdrop Houses: http://webecoist.momtastic.com/2010/09/17/design-for-disaster-14-
emergency-shelter-concepts/
The group chose this as the top overall design as it
encompasses all three criteria of portability, innovative
design and innovative material use.
Portability - This sphere is packaged as a 3 meter
ball that could be transported anywhere and be dropped
off at any point using jet planes. It can thrive in any kind
of environment.
Innovative Design - The design of the sphere uses
flood water to independently assemble itself and to
sustain life inside it.
Innovative Material - The sphere is made of
sponge-like material that could adapt to all kinds of environmental situation. Its pores could
serve as seed beddings for plants to grow as food.
2. Water Shelter http://www.design21sdn.com/competitions/7/entries/988/gallery/5358
?show_all_entries=false Portability - The Water shelter is packaged
as small as a Coleman barrel jug that could be
easily brought to any place. It is also easy to install
and can also be airdropped.
Innovative Design - The shelter, although
compact, could provide shelter to 4-6 people. It
could be erected in any kind of situation and
terrain. It could also incorporate local
distribution, airdrop distribution and water
collection system.
Innovative Material Use - The current prototype uses high tenacity polyester
with aluminum framing, mosquito nets, first aid kit, water filter using the barrel,
blanket, health advice to prevent sickness and maps.
3. Temporary Emergency Shelters http://weburbanist.com/2008/11/12/lifesaving-temporary-
emergency-shelters-buildings/
Portability - This type of shelter is
packaged into a container that has a regular
size and shape. It can be transported via cargo
truck or shipping.
Innovative Design - Using hydraulic

lifts, the temporary emergency shelter transforms into a two-story dwelling that
accommodates and considers the physical and social needs of the people living in it. Apart
from this, it also has photovoltaic cells and rainwater harvesting systems that enables the
structure to sustain itself in the most torrid climates.
Innovative Material - This shelter uses materials that are commonly found and
manufactured anywhere in the world.
