Design-Global Village Shelter

The shelters can be assembled in 15 minutes and last up to one year. They can be locked from within and stacked to form larger structures, like emergency clinics or bathrooms.

These wind- and fire-resistant folding houses were designed to provide shelter to victims and relief workers in disaster zones and were used in the reconstruction of Grenada following Hurricane Ivan in 2004.
