pWe are pleased to announce the results of this past month’s 1 Hour Design Challenge: Emergency Shelters. Pop-up shelters have been a favorite exploration of designers for a long time, and in light of the earthquake in Haiti and the necessity of creating short-term emergency shelters, this 1 Hour Design Challenge invited designers to create innovative and appropriate pop-up shelter solutions. Designs could be specific to Haiti or generalized to address emergency shelter needs across various contexts. We were looking for simple, effective and appropriate design interventions, and in the spirit of all Core77 1HDCs, designers were asked to work within the 60-minute design constraint./p

pJudging was based on inventiveness, utility and appropriateness, and Core77 has donated $500 to Architecture For Humanity’s a href=”http://architectureforhumanity.org/programs/haiti-earthquake-rebuilding”Haiti Earthquake Support Program/a in the name of the winner, Dan Ostrowski! Congratulations Dan!/p

pThe judges were impressed with the breadth of thinking, the speed of design iteration, and the novel uses of materials and geometries. We were particularly persuaded with design concepts that pushed portability and thrift. Commented Cameron Sinclair, “The backpack ideas are the most interesting to explore, as essentially you are looking for a ‘better tent’ that can be deployed in different places over time. Anything airdropped is like a bad scene from Spies Like Us#151;one wrong drop and your housing solution could end up destroying more homes.” Cameron added, “The cost of an airdrop is the same as two maintained trucks with drivers, both supplied with a year’s worth of gas. As for the communal solutions, we need to be aware of the issues of water-borne diseases; close proximity can contribute to the spread of potential epidemics.”/p

pThanks to everyone who participated in this 1 Hour Design Challenge, and now to the TOP 10 DESIGNS:/p

Designer: Dan Ostrowskibr /
Based on the reports coming out of Haiti, I decided that a natural disaster refugee was a transient person that would migrate to new locations in search of safety, food, and/or medical help. I developed an inflatable tent because of its lightweight, easy transport, and minimal storage space when not in use. A GPS tracker was added so that rescue teams could know, before entering a ND zone, where they are most needed. The Lifestraws were added in an attempt to stave off water born pathogens and the use of mosquito repellent fabric was indented to stave off malaria./p

Designer: Michael Kilbanebr /
This pop out shelter is simple, cost-effective and is easily mass-produced. My design combines a number of cheap materials to form a flexible waterproof building sheet that is folded as shown below. This design provides ten (or more) shelters in one assembly. Assembly is easy just pin down one end and then pull out the other end, once the expansion of the compartments is complete, secure last end to the ground via pins. Many Haitians may suffer for Illiteracy, so I have added a color identity marker to the shelters design; this allows the user to identify there chosen shelter with ease. Shelters would be placed in a hexagonal plan layout and vital services are found at the center hub./pa href=”http://www.core77.com/blog/featured_items/announcing_the_winners_1_hour_design_challenge_emergency_shelters_16073.asp”(more…)/a

I was inspired by Victor Papanek (+ Design for the Real World) to use the form + transportation of helicopter seeds to deliver emergency shelter and goods. The fabric “wings” maintain the shape by the modular metal poles (found in tents) and the “seed” can open up and unfold to form a personal tent for the user. The pod part of the seed carries basic supplies like food, blankets, and soap and the pod can be left out as a water collector/purifier./p

My Proposal is more about using elements that can be found in Haiti to solve the housing Problems. Using Bamboo, Sisal rope and dry palm leaves, they could build this shelters for Haitians. It’s Important to remember that the country’s temperature is very high and palm leaves are extremely fresh./p

The events that have happened in Haiti aren’t exclusive to Haiti. As such, I sought to approach the problem from a universal perspective and was guided initially by the 3-line rule for this particular challenge. This first submission addresses the issues of emergency shelter by first having a shelter that is designed for the region and to also take into account that Haiti has almost entirely depleted their natural resources thus would require some outsourced / pre-fabricated / manufactured assistance./p

pThis year’s Stockholm Furniture Fair, Scandinavia’s biggest annual design event, reeled in the crowds, as always. The main fair halls may have been a little quieter than usual, but an array of exciting work on show in the Greenhouse, the fair’s well renowned student and newcomer section, kept the masses inspired and entertained. Core correspondent Sam Dunne shares the best in our latest event gallery./p
