Futuristic Buildings

Disaster can hit us at anytime. When it does, lives are lost and property is destroyed. For individuals, families and businesses affected, it would seem like your entire world has just crumbled and you are left with nothing. 

 

Rebuidling after disasters is all about getting people back on their feet and ensuring a roof over their head. But with so much debris left in the wake of disaster, and seemingly unavailable utilities and supplies, how does one actually go about rebuilding the homes of the people affected? How do we ensure that a second disaster won't wipe out the entire place again? 

 

Speed in building is critical. Restoring the city's pride, getting people back into their homes is the first step towards rebuilding that society - and the sooner its done, the better. Rebuilding after disasters consists of 2 broad steps: 

 

1) Early Response

 

• Debris Removal - Use of tools such as shovels, wheelbarrows, crowbars

• Cash-for-Work Components - Contributes to financial support, mental strength, emotional healing

• Transitional Shelters - Built with the help of Aid

 

2) Long Term Construction

 

For long term rebuilding of society, the "Core House" is built. The "Core House" has the following features:

• Small - big enough to get a family back under its own roof and shelter in the quickest possible time

• Well Constructed - Built using materials and methods that ensure the buidling lasts and can be used in the long run

• Disaster Resilent - Designed in such a way that it will be resilient against future disasters affecting that area or region

• Expandable - Deisgn is modular and allows for easy expansion when necessity, time and resources permit for the expansion of that family's home
