Multifunctional Shelter "competition"

Title:
Multifunctional Shelter
Thinking Hand Non Profit Organization International Competition
Rank : 7

Brief:

The main aim of my project is to create sustainable style of life also provide the shelter habitants with possibility to use their shelter as a place where they could earn they day not just live and sleep.
The raw material which provides people choices to use it like “Bamboo – Silt - Water” which is found a lot in these intended regions can provide people live there with advantages of making their shelter with no cost also with sustainable suggested design which will make their life more healthy and beautiful.
Then in a word this design based on supply shelter’s habitants with healthy life, improve their daily income and sustainable design with net area 36m^2.

Case:

Africa is the hottest continent on earth; dry lands and deserts comprise 60% of the entire land surface. The Sahara Desert (including its satellite deserts) is the world's largest hot desert, and temperature above 37.78 °C (100 °F) is common. In fact, the record for the highest temperature ever recorded was set in Libya in 1922; 58 °C - (136 °F).

Red soil according to ground is called laterite and is a clay which has been enriched with Iron and aluminum that has been developed over long periods of time by the heavy rain falls and the intense heat. Sometimes the material is rock hard but when scuffed by vehicle wheels it becomes a choking red dust. The iron is the origin of the redness i.e. a rusty color.

Africa has huge reserves of largely untapped indigenous bamboo, and excellent conditions for growing cultivated species. With careful management, both natural and cultivated bamboo can prove valuable resources for sustainable rural development.
Harnessing bamboo effectively requires practical policies at the local, national and global level. This will help scale-up bamboo activities for economic and environmental development, and encourage private sector action and investment for business growth and job creation.
Sprawl Scenario:

Steps of innovation and design take some of steps to solve some problems

Problem 1 (Wet red clay)
According to the nature of land in intended region the land is considered as a fatal problem which causes Diseases and epidemics also causes problems with houses and shelter
Solution
Raise the Shelter of the ground with bamboo structure with 1.5 m height.

Problem 2 (Very hot weather)
According to statics mentioned in cases the people always want the ideal weather to live in a
Solution
Make “breather zone” for all the zones of shelter like concept of Arabic installation “Air intake” which is directed towards the prevailing wind and filter it to distribute it to shelter

Problem 3 (Huge amount of rain water)
According to statics mentioned in cases Africa has huge amount of annual rain water not exploited and may cause danger
Solution
Raise the Shelter of the ground with bamboo structure with 1.5 m height and use storage system of water in tanks in order to reuse it in daily usage Also use water with silt of ground to construct the walls and floors of shelter.

Problem 4 (Improve their daily income)
The low income of refugees may be an obstacle facing them also there is limited area they can’t increase it.
Solution
Make “multifunctional zone” which has 2 functions for day period as a shop where hand made products and agricultural products sold to improve the daily income.
In night period it used as living room where they share their ideas and entertainment.
