O-Ground Shelter

Old Fangak, Year 2035, two weeks after the hurricane. Humanitarian support is still active. Yesterday, local authorities started to deliver light shelters that allow a small living space above the water, operational within minutes. The operations need no more than a few people, simple hand tools, and a plain simple instruction manual. With the help of NGO, isolated locals began to erect these o-ground shelters. Structurally speaking, these tents are made of tension. Two frames made of galvanized steel pipes, are brought closer together with a ratchet crank. This action allows the rise of a high platform, free from natural hazards, such as rising water, strong winds, or ground-shaking vibrations.
