The {s.e.e.d.}Shelter:An Investigation Into the Design of Non-Site Specific Developmental Prefabricated Disaster Relief SheltersOver the past few years numerous natural disasters have hit the United States leaving in the aftermath people homeless, and in abject poverty, struggling to meet even the most basic of needs (food, water, shelter, and clothing). Most recently the catastrophic hurricanes hitting New Orleans, and Texas have devastated costal areas. Our country has sent less than quality shelter at a slower than acceptable rate and even the most basic needs are not met. In this thesis I propose designing an emergency shelter that provides the most basic human needs, like water and shelter, to people suffering after hurricanes along the eastern coastline and eventually abroad. These sustainable structures will be produced quickly in a non-costly pre-manufactured fashion, and will be adaptable based on needs of the area suffering. The {s.e.e.d.} Shelter will allow for the growth of a new structure on an existing site, developing the area and re instituting the sense of place for families and communities after a disaster.
