The project presented here was designed thinking of the quick necessities that refugees have to adapt to.
The modules are designed with pre-made pieces that can be easily connected and disconnected without major damage to the environment. It provides a safe shelter against rain, sunlight and more importantly contains all the basic needs for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The shelter can bring dignity and security for the refugees who have already lost so much in wars or conflicts.

doors can also be used as a shelter and connection point between modules

The pieces
The concept is a shelter that comes in a kit with all the pieces that you need to build a module. Easy and light and quick to build. You can do it yourself regardless of where you are in the world, making it cheaper and more accessible. In total there are 700 pieces that complete the kit, so anyone can easily, put together their module. The intention is that with more time and research the number of pieces can be reduced, making even easier and quicker the whole process of buiding a module.

The modules can be arranged to form a small community. Interaction of the community can help to integrate it into society. Privacy is maintained in this process of interaction into the local society and city.

wi fi
The same housing core module can be connected to others to attend other needs, for example bathroom modules can be connected to every 2 or 4 modules or even become classrooms or a healthcare practice.
It is suggested in the images that the community area can also have a water tower to fuel the modules. This can be achieved through gravity and a pumping system. The water tower can also have a Wi-Fi signal on the top of it.
