EMERGENCY PALLET HOMES DYANA BERTHAUD
LIVING IN A SMALL SPACE BY SUSANNE TAMBORINI (P.8) “BEFORE QUESTIONS REGARDING SIZE OF STANDING ROOM ARE CONSIDERED, QUESTIONS REGARDING SPATIAL QUALITIES SHOULD TAKE PRECEDENCE. THE SUBJECTIVE FEELING THAT ONE MIGHT EXPERIENCE IN A GIVEN SPACE IS OFTEN MORE DEPENDENT ON LIGHT AND SUN, AIR AND WARMTH, THAN ON THE NUMBER OF SQUARE FEET. IT ALSO DEPENDS ON THE INTELLIGENT ORGANIZATION OF INDIVIDUAL LIVING REQUIREMENTS; ON THE OPTIMAL USE OF SPACE, AND LIKEWISE ON THE PRECISELY DETERMINED FUNCTIONAL PROCESSES THAT ARE DEPENDENT UPON THE LIMITED DIMENSIONS OF THAT SPACE” MY THESIS IS TO DESIGN A HOME FOR THOSE WHO HAVE LOST EVERYTHING IN A NATURAL DISASTER, LIKE THE HAITIAN PEOPLE WHO SUFFERED THROUGH THE 2012 EARTHQUAKE. THE SHELTERS WILL GO THROUGH PHASES. IT WILL START WITH AN “IMMEDIATE SHELTER” DURING THE SHOCK PERIOD; A “COMMUNITY” DURING THE ACCEPTANCE PERIOD; A “STABILIZED BUILDING” DURING RECOVERY; FINALLY, A “HOUSE” TO ACCOMODATE THESE SURVIVORS MORE PERMANENTLY THESE SURVIVORS. THESE HOMES WILL TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE EMOTIONAL STATE OF THE SURVIVORS, SPATIAL QUALITY TO PROVIDE SOME KIND OF COMFORT, AND THE CULTURE OF THE PEOPLE AND SITE CONSIDERATION. HOMES IN THESE TENT CITIES HAVE DEVELOPED THEIR OWN LANGUAGE AND ORGANIZATION AND TO CHANGE THE ORGANIC GROWTH OF A COMMUNITY IS NOT HELPFUL
