Modular Shelter
Modular emergency shelter with deployable tents
Emergency shelter of modular character that has deployable arms to form tents. It is designed for earthquakes that affect southern Chile, so this emergency shelter is foldable, transportable and modifiable depending on the configuration of the territory and needs of the community. This project is intended to be produced by the Government of Chile, based on the criticism that exists towards its current emergency shelters. Due to the changing nature of the country, the deployable tents are made of biodegradable materials so that, at the time of migration, only the modular shelter is transported.
