Caim was designed for the IDEC Student Design Competition 2023. The premise of the project was to create and design a temporary shelter under 50 square meters for a group of refugees. The time limit for this competition was one week, in a group of four students.

The Caim Shelter is a place of peace. Inspired by the shape of a typhoon, the structure convoludes to embrace its dwellers. The eye of a storm is a cocoon to protect one from harm. It is a home. Spiritually, the eye represents a new start; a rebirth. Everything has a cycle, in life and in nature. The design of this shelter aims to create an all-encompassing space, integrating six key elements for enhancing mental health: involve, protect, engage, comfort, personalize, and sustain.
