Origami-Inspired Disaster Relief Pods

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

These Conceptual Prefab Folding Pods Can Be Setup Anywhere

— April 13, 2022 — Art & Design
These conceptual prefab folding pods have been designed by Hariri & Hariri Architecture as a disaster relief solution that would provide a dedicated place for those affected to seek refuge. The pods are characterized by their origami-inspired design that can be shipped anywhere thanks to a flatpack construction before being unfolded into a 500-square-foot living space. This offers enough space for families with three to four members to live comfortably; additional pods can be linked together to create a larger area for living.

The conceptual prefab folding pods are emphasized by the designers as being inherently versatile with a construction that would work effectively in emergency scenarios, but also at music festivals, sports events or as an off-grid home.
