The Architecture of Survival

If necessity is the mother of invention, then housing designed to respond to such crisis situations as natural disasters, military conflicts and accommodation shortages has to be one of creativity's most productive hotbeds. Turbulent times beget, or rather demand, innovative thinking, as Architonic's investigation of intelligent prefabricated architecture demonstrates.

Gimme Shelter

Text: Simon Keane-Cowell

Conflict, natural disasters, endemic housing shortages. Architects and designers around the globe respond to humanitarian and social crises with a range of smart, prefabricated solutions.

Off-site, but not out of mind: Brooklyn-based Garrison Architects' prototype for factory-built post-disaster emergency housing for the New York City is designed with modularity, and thereby flexibility, at its core; photos: Andrew Rugge/archphoto

It’s impossible to ignore the figures. Dubbed the worst humanitarian crisis since the Second World War, the effects of the ongoing conflict in Syria are shorthanded in the media through the starkest of numbers – 7.6 million people displaced internally, with over 4 million registered as refugees in neighbouring countries. And that’s before you take into account the mass movement of migrants into and across Europe, victims not only of this appalling war, but of numerous others. The figures may be so large as to be almost abstract, but the reality of these people’s daily existence is, if you’ll excuse the tautology, very real.

With room to accommodate up to five people, the 'Better Shelter' consists of a series of thermally insulated, lightweight polymer panels, applied to a steel frame. The structure has already been tested in Iraq and Ethiopia

Humanitarian disaster is nothing new, of course, be its causes man-made or natural. Neither is the response on the part of architects and designers to try, in some modest and meaningful way, to provide those whose lives have been dramatically and often violently uprooted with that most basic of human needs – shelter. From Jean Prouvé’s Maisons Démontables – his series of prefabricated steel, wood and aluminium, single-room dwellings, designed to house the homeless and the displaced in France in the immediate aftermath of the Second World War and which, to this day, are lauded for their rational, yet humane, designs – through to Pritzker laureate Shigeru Ban’s Paper Log Houses of the mid-1990s, built to house victims of the Kobe earthquake, innovative and efficient structures, both temporary and longer-term, have been deployed across the globe in times of crisis to provide emergency roofs over heads.

Material Tendencies N° 7: Stefan Diez

As both the industrial designer and trained cabinet-maker, Stefan Diez’s concern with objects is based more than anything on how they are made. His approach to design is guided by a desire to process material as constructively and intelligently as possible.

Stefen Diez offers Architonic some fascinating insights into his role as designer in the creative process.

'If I had to choose to work with one material, I’d pick aluminium. It is an unusually versatile material and well-suited for a wide range of processing methods. It can be die-cast or extruded, and when it is then coated with powder, it looks as if it had been produced from a single cast.'

Water Works

Text: Johannes Hünig

The days of the bathroom as mere utilitarian space for one’s ablutions are long gone. Bathrooms nowadays perform a range of functions, from restorative retreat to wellness-based room for ritual. DORNBRACHT’s expressive yet rational CL. 1 series is just the latest in the manufacturer’s range of products that have helped change the landscape of bathing.
