#10 TEMPORARY LIVING_

PROJEKT in Cooperation with MODULAR Hallsystem Austria

INITIAL SITUATION

Due to a variety of reasons, an accumulation of people can occur quickly and unpredictably. In many cases there is a need to create an acceptable temporary or even long-term accommodation. Due to social and religious differences, the nature of such accommodation is an essential success factor for social and tension-free coexistence. The solution is to create accommodations for these events that meet basic human needs in a quick, timely and uncomplicated manner. Temporary Living offers an overall concept that is promptly available, meets all requirements and can be realized on a variety of substrates.

THE GOAL

The aim is to create an autonomous structure that meets the respective humanitarian requirements without major demands on foundation, equipment and construction time. The uncomplicated assembly and disassembly as well as the entire transport concept allows the use at a variety of locations and substrates. Due to the correspondingly high quality materials used, the consistent quality for repeated use is given. A modular construction system for short- or long-term applications, which can follow the different requirements of the location and execution. Additional equipment options such as a PV, water treatment system, additional insulation designs, etc. are already provided for in the basic concept. In summary, the aim is to provide a universal product for a wide range of requirements and areas of application with short implementation paths.

OUR CONCEPT

Our concept not only meets all the requirements of the building - it also solves current problems and points of conflict. The initial product is a steel truss frame in the shape of an arch, which is based on a prefabricated wall structure made of flat steel sheets. On a floor area of just under 860m2 , the outer shell is converted into a living area on the inside with ready-made container systems and a coordinated spatial concept, so-called temporary living.

THE FOUNDATION

Due to the construction of water- or sand-filled steel walls, a foundation is possible on a wide variety of substrates such as earth, gravel, asphalt, sand and even ice. No extended measures such as concrete works or anchoring as well as the consideration of underground installations are necessary. The wall structure performs several functions such as burglary protection and load bearing of the supporting structure. The filling with the available filling material such as sand or water represent a quick static function. This point, especially in disassembly and reuse, is an innovation in the overall project and unique in the market worldwide.

PACKING & DELIVERY

For all-around burglary protection as well as interim storage after delivery, the 20 ft. Delivery containers are also statically integrated into the hall concept and the design of the end walls. In addition to their delivery function, the containers are an essential part of the building's utilization. After unloading, they will be converted into various functions such as entrance locks, storage rooms and building services. In case of dismantling, the project is reconstructed with short lead times back to the original form of delivery.

THE STRUCTURE & ENVELOPE

The arch form is created by a truss frame made of steel in combination with membrane covering. The outer shell consists of a continuous plane, which functions as an outer skin in one piece. For thermal requirements, another membrane layer is attached to the inner side of the truss bottom chord in addition to the outer shell. The resulting interstitial space allows the regulation of heating or cooling processes on the object. The end walls, and thus the longitudinal terminations of the project, will be made with a frame structure and foundation on the delivery containers. Sandwitch panels in a vertical laying pattern are applied as the external thermal termination.

THE ROOMCONCEPT

All requirements for wet cells, infrastructure or common areas are carried out by positioning the containers in the center of the object. The connection lines for supply and disposal are to be made underground in advance. The containers in the object core show the starting point for all continuous dimensions of the object. Access is through the two end walls and container locks directly into a circumferential corridor system. Circulating a floor plan concept of 2 room types with 24m2 and 28m2 and an occupancy of 6 and 8 was developed. A subdivision of the living areas for different requirements can thus be easily realized. These room units offer, in addition to the bunk beds for each person occupancy, a closet area as well as a workstation, which can be shared. The areas are lockable and divided by means of a partition wall system.

THE BUILDING SERVICES

Due to the situation of the homogeneous external layer, the whole structure is designed in a very dense way. The walls are spanned with the outer skin up to the edge of the terrain and connected to the surface of the surroundings. The multi-layer membrane on the truss structure allows controlled heating and cooling of the required object performance. The positioning of the building services in one of the delivery containers enables a covered positioning of all technical components. PV modules with a total object output of approx. 22 KW are installed on the wall construction on the long sides. Heat exchangers and storage media are positioned in the building services area. The basic lighting of the object is available. These can be individually switched for the respective room areas.

THE USE

The area of application of the concept is manifold. Whether it is a team unit, living area, work zone or even a refugee home. Temporary Living offers a use for up to 100 persons in a well thought-out and homelike overall concept. A separation of genders or other criteria can easily be made possible by the use of further modules with possible demarcation. The module units are available as purchase model, rent or also installment plan.
