The design of a livable, inclusive, environmentally sustainable, easy to build, disaster resilient “Interim Shelter” having more than 50% local economy component, and 90% recycling potential.
Interim Shelter Details
• Made out of local stone and earth for making random rubble masonry in mud mortar, with corrugated galvanized iron (CGI) sheet roofing supported on wooden under-structure
• Being earthquake and cyclone resistant with the use of double strands of 12 gauge GI wire “containment reinforcement” and wooden wall plates securely attached to walls
• Having approximately 200 square feet carpet area with a kitchen space separated by light weight flexible, disaster resilient divider wall of GI sheeting and timber.
• Each shelter with labor component of approx.50% of the total cost, and could be equivalent to the livelihood for nearly 170 days for a mason.
