Faculty Architecture and The Built Environment Department Architectural Engineering and Technology Date 2013-09-23 Abstract This paper presents the design of a light and robust temporary emergency shelter with a triangulated polyhedral grid to transfer the lateral and vertical loads efficiently. To simplify the construction the variety of the elements is minimized, only two sizes of elements are applied. For the structural grid alternatives are designed using varying materials as cardboard, aluminum, steel and timber. The dimensions of the elements are validated. The alternatives are compared and ranked to minimize the environmental load due to the production, assemblage and transport.
