Modular Temporary Housing for Situations of Humanitarian Catastrophe
[Abstract] The search for architectural solutions for emergency situations is an important line of research. In this article, the most appropriate conditions for the different situations that can turn up after a disaster will be analyzed and proposals for temporary housing will be presented. These are possibly the most suitable solutions for developed countries. The design and calculation of an experimental wooden module, built at the University School of Architecture in A Coruña, which has served as a prototype to analyse its viability in practice, will also be presented. Finally, there will be a critical review of the results and possible improvements detected. ; This work was supported by the Ministry of the Economy and Competitiveness of the Kingdom of Spain [grant number BIA2016-79459-R]. This study is a part of the research project Expandable and modular constructions for humanitarian disasters
