In times of crisis and conflict, the importance of sustainable and efficiently producible emergency shelters, which enable a life in safety and dignity, increases. The construction of such accommodation must meet the requirements of various areas, including minimum standards of humanitarian organization, structural requirements and manufacturing restrictions. The shelter solution presented here, which results from these requirements, is intended to be a sustainable alternative to existing emergency accommodation, especially tents. In order to actually replace tents in some scenarios, the accommodation must be able to be manufactured industrially in large series. Various concept studies were carried out for this purpose. The principle was: “form follows function & follows production”.
