Folded Bamboo + Paper House Emergency Shelter in China by Ming Tang
As a response to the 7.9 earthquake that strucked China in the recent years, architect Ming Tang proposed a shelter that was easily produced, cheap and environmentally friendly, using bamboo, which utilizes a system of bamboo poles that are pre-assembled into rigid geometric shapes.
The geometry of these forms provides each structure's integrity, allowing a range of lightweight modular structures to be quickly assembled in factories and transported to their destination. Once constructed, the shelters are then covered by using post and pre-consumer recycled paper.
For this modular system, Tang also proposed a paper fibers, water, and cement envelope that allows for larger configurations.This project was presented on the RE:Construct competition, a call for a ideas on temporary housing.
