The construction of temporary housings in disaster areas using containers is proposed as an application solution. With its advantage of combination and splitting, the modularity of containers offers a wide range of implementation possibilities for container housing in disaster areas. Specific housing needs of various types of victims can be easily satisfied through the different organizations of various units.展开更多

The case studies of the temporary residences in Turin, in areas characterized by problems of urban decay and social tensions with a high rate of immigration, are both a technical and social experimental intervention aiming, through the recovery of the existing degraded property, to transform it into a new living model of social housing, from which it will benefit not only the residents but also the entire urban area. The concept of the spaces has profoundly changed. It is no longer tied to the domestic and work sphere only, it now includes all places of associated and collective life.展开更多

This paper conducts a comparative study between the plate-houses constructed after Wenchuan earthquake and the temporary shelters in other countries on aspects including planning layout, area index, social psychology, economic cost, etc. In the Wenchuan case, statistics show that the FAR of the plate-house residential area is around 0.4, the number of supporting houses makes up 20% in the total house sets, the average floor area of each house is about 25 m^2 that occupies a land area of 60 m^2, and the per capita planned floor area is 7 m^2, which is far above the international recommended minimum standard of 3.5 m^2. Even if the area for residence, school, hospital, and other land use functions are all counted, the per capita planed land use area of China's plate-house area is still above the international recommended minimum standard, which is 30 m^2. This paper holds that China has been capable of the planning and construction of the physical space of plate-house, but the holistic concept and the systematic arrangement level still need further promotion.展开更多
