How easy is to develop temporarily structures from everyday, common objects that are easily \u00a0accessible to people all-over the world?
\nThat was the question given to third\u00a0year architecture students at the\u00a0Lebanese\u00a0American\u00a0University<\/a>\u00a0and so they designed the “emergency plastic crates shelter”<\/p>\n

Studio\u00a0instructor Richard Douzjian requested\u00a0\u00a0from students to think over immigration, as many refugees are forced to incorporate such materials into creating their own living environments.<\/p>\n

A 1:1 scale prototype has been assembled \u00a0on site at LAU\u2019s byblos campus. The\u00a0ECS-p1\u2032 project uses just two components as construction materials:\u00a0plastic crates \u00a0and regular zip ties.<\/p>\n

As we read on designboom: “Following a \u2018consumerist vernacular architecture\u2019 approach, the adapted containers are reusable if undamaged, otherwise they are completely recyclable along with the ties that hold it together. Every single plastic crate functions as a storage unit. This dual purpose extends to the window shutters, which can be integrated as either seats or table legs when not blocking the openings. In hot and dry climates the shelter provides a viable substitute to the conventional tent, as it procures natural lighting, ventilation and cooling, while being more structurally resistant and offering seamless holding spaces.”<\/em><\/p>\n
