# Resourceful Corrugated Cabins Shelter/Pavilion is an Efficient Emergency Abode of Material Scraps By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-01-18 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shelterpavilion-by-carter-williamson References: [urdesign.it](http://www.urdesign.it/index.php/2013/01/15/emergency-shelters-by-carter-williamson-architects/) & [carterwilliamson](http://www.carterwilliamson.com/) The prototype on display of Shelter/Pavilion by Carter Williamson might look all shiny and new, but the intention is that dwellings like this could be constructed entirely from [reclaimed materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heal-home-hmm). The design is compact and fairly basic yet there's an ingenuity to it that is sufficient for providing up to eight people with a temporary or even more permanent roof over their heads. This model showcases the iconic use of [corrugated iron](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ironbark-house) for which Australian architecture is known. It's up on sturdy metal stilts with a perforated deck and a small set of stairs, it features protective hatch windows and a steeply sloped roof. A loft inside the attic of the Shelter/Pavilion separates the sleeping area from the other domestic activities for a sensible division of interior spaces amidst the stressful circumstances following natural disasters and the like. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 84% | Activity: 74% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) > [Eco Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/ecoarchitecture) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Sustainable Architecture:** Opportunity for using reclaimed materials for construction to promote environmental friendliness - **Disaster Relief Dwelling:** Innovation potential in using corrugated cabins for disaster relief purposes - **Compact Living:** Advancement in small scale construction with modular compact cabins ### Sectors Adopting This - **Architecture and Construction:** Potential to develop innovative and sustainable construction methods using reclaimed materials - **Emergency Management:** Opportunity to introduce low cost emergency housing and relief solutions in disaster scenarios - **Modular Housing:** Scope for building versatile, affordable and adaptable cabins to suit various living purposes ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Adaptive Backyard Studios](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/love-shack-1.md) - [Origami-Inspired Disaster Relief Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prefab-folding-pods.md) - [Timber Alpine Shelters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selfsufficient-bivouac.md) - [Eco-Friendly Modular Refugee Shelters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allspace-1.md) - [Compact Sustainable Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-cabana.md) - [Illuminating Water-Based Pavillions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shelter-pavilion.md) - [Aluminum Cladded Mountain Refuge](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pinwheel-shelter.md) - [Alpine Valley-Cliff Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bivacco-brdy.md) - [Experimental Shelter Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grayhus.md)
