3D Printed Emergency Shelters
The brief was to provide an alternative to the emergency camp approach for the earthquake victims in Turkey. The focus was on utilizing 3D printing technology to provide them with a more long-term solution and understanding the benefits of adopting the technique in such contexts. The project integrates Turkish architectural traditions like the 'sofa' concept, passive ventilation techniques, and locally-sourced materials including clay, rice husk, and straw for sustainable, dignified housing that can be printed in approximately 43 hours per unit.
