Inspired by earthquakes, these origami green hunts feature simple geometric patterns and eco materials. The huts are designed in such a way that they can be easily folded into captivating shapes. The huts won an honourable mention at the Re:Construct competition.
Ming Tang came up with the idea for his Folding Houses after a magnitude 7.9 earthquake struck central China last May, killing 69,000 people. Upon learning that the Chinese government planned to create up to 1.5 million temporary homes, he decided to design a shelter that was easily produced, cheap and environmentally friendly. His geometric folding houses are beautiful, dynamic, and can adapt to respond to the needs of different situations.
