Abstract
As the increasing number of disasters taking place each year result in a larger number of people in need of urgent sheltering, temporary shelters become a more critical subject of architectural design. With this in mind, the aim of this study is to design a temporary post-disaster living space for the displaced people. Towards this aim, 2D layout possibilities are generated and evaluated with genetic algorithms. Different from the previous studies, the project focuses on the potential use of shape evolution and multi-objective genetic algorithms for the design of a disaster relief shelter. The results are expected to produce a holistic digital model that can respond to different post-disaster scenarios.
Highlights
“Since 2008, an average of 26.4 million people per year temporary shelter that can respond to different user types have been displaced from their homes by disasters and disaster scenarios through mass customization, using brought on by natural hazards
One of the biggest problems in post-disaster settlements in developing countries is the lack of sustainable solutions where a temporary shelter can be transformed into a more transitional or progressive one in time (Limoncu and Bayülgen, 2008)
One of the previous examples that focus on designing a temporary shelter is named Mob-ARCH and it follows a methodological architectural design approach (Şener and Altun, 2009) (Figure 3)
Summary
Especially when the case is post-disaster construction, as they are specialized in optimizing contradicting objectives. Different from the previous bases its research upon displaced people, it is stated that studies, this paper aims to focus on the design of a “Since 2008, an average of 26.4 million people per year temporary shelter that can respond to different user types have been displaced from their homes by disasters and disaster scenarios through mass customization, using brought on by natural hazards. When displaced people are compelled to live in these settlements for several months or years, they feel the need to make modifications in and around the units If these modifications were foreseen and the structures were flexible enough to allow participation during or after the construction process, the architectural quality presented could have been much higher
