PAPER TUBE EMERGENCY SHELTER: DESIGN EXPERIMENTS FOR REFUGEES
According to UNHCR, the number reached nearly 59.5 million at the end of 2014, which is a sharp increase compared to 45.2 million in 2012 and 37.5 million in 2005.1 The increase is mostly due to sudden disasters within limited areas where people must escape their homes, seeking safety elsewhere. According to him, it is possible to get paper tubes for free because it is one of most common materials utilized by textile industries. [...]emphasis for the emergency design should be given to maximize the use of readily available, lightweight, and sustainable materials that could be assembled quickly from kits without the need for skilled labor. [...]the design proposal exemplifies a collaborative process where many different individuals can participate in designing and constructing emergency shelters.
