Aim

Construction of an industrial prototype home, combining maximum flexibility in transport and use concerning refugee-camps as well as worldwide catastrophy-management.

Concept

Optimizing the proportion of maximum space in use and minimum transport size. Solitary houses are build up manually. They may be linked to create whole estates then being supplied by central energy-stations. Transport and Wrapping The house is being carried with different kinds of vehicles and aircrafts. In transport-case it has got the size of half a seecontainer. A foile protects the house during storage and transport. Later on it serves as a cleanliness-layer.

Erection

Two persons erect the building using a ladder and a manual pneumatic pump, both part of the delivery package. The industrial production allows pre-definition concerning the mount of all separate parts and their motions when being put to use. Thus the erection should be quite intuitive.

Spatial arrangement of rooms and separate parts

The minimal transport volume is being achieved by a dense arrangement of all parts of the house using folding and sliding constructions (walls, floors, ceilings, energy-unit, standings). A room-ring of flexibly used units surrounds the central, functional part of the bulding (storage, sanitation).

Construction

To facilitate the industrial production at low cost, a system-construction is being proposed. All seperate parts are being used various times. The main-construction consists of 4 supporting rooms, made of aluminium-spacers and trapezium-sheetmetal, which form stiff bodies. The additional chassis brings stiffness to the linked rooms.

Furnishing

The house is being ventilated and illuminated by a synthetic dome using the "Venturi-principle". Water and heating energy is being supplied by a central unit using rain-water and wood for heating in extreme cases. The functional part of the building (four cells) can be flexibly furnished and works by rotary-principle.
