Emergency shelter exhibition. PIILO/MARKUS MICHALSKI. PIILOproduct design piilo is a modern way of living. The object is designed for the interior as a private secret retreat. It can be used at home, on the road or in the office. piilo is characterized by nomad culture and transfers it to modern living environments. piilo encourages personal spontaneity and flexibility. It can be seen as furniture or as micro architecture. This variable space is on the diameter 220 cm and has a height of 110 cm - enough space to relax. A construction of carbon fibre rods (CFK) and a covering of elastic textile fabric guarantees the static stability. Kengo Kuma's.
All photos via Kengo Kuma, unless otherwise noted Kengo Kuma has constructed a modernized version of Buddhist monk Kamono Chomei's portable hut that he immortalized centuries ago in the influential essay "Hojo-ki" ("An Account of My Hut"). "Hojo-an After 800 Years," on display at Kyoto’s Shimogamo Jinja Shrine, is a tribute to Chomei’s efficient home, often regarded as a prototype for Japan’s compact housing.
Reflecting the mobility of the original structure, Kuma’s hut is constructed of ETFE sheets that can easily be rolled up. Working in combination with a cedar structure and powerful magnets, the soft architecture becomes a single, more structured unit.

Allée du port-Maillard Quai François-Mitterrand1 000 plateauxCollectif Fichtre Ces trois architectes, Frédéric Péchereau, Thomas Cantin et Wilfrid Lelou, échappent à toutes définitions trop cadrées. Leur particularité : sortir du champ de l’architecture pour investir d’autres disciplines en privilégiant la fabrication “manuelle” de chaque projet. 1 000 plateaux est un mobilier urbain temporaire suscitant de nouveaux espaces de rencontres.
Comme on se donnerait rendez-vous “à la maison”, 1 000 plateaux – tables, bancs, hamacs, praticables – invitent à s’approprier de nouveaux espaces de convivialité le temps d’un pique-nique, d’un apéritif, d’un jeu, d’un moment de détente… max zargal, lE liEu magiquE Photo © Marc Domage. BVN Architecture Flat Pack. The Melbourne Emergency Shelter Exhibition lasted from May 1-5, 2013 and was held in Federation Square where leading architects from the area designed and built emergency shelters. The purpose of the event was to explore solutions to emergency shelters in disaster-affected locations around the world.
Obviously shelters are created to protect victims from the elements, but this exhibition also set out to explore how disaster relief and shelters could also provide support and comfort. BVN’s solution explored the range of options in materials, but they settled on prefabrication using plywood. Plywood sheets are laser cut into 40 differently shaped pieces. The Emergency Shelter by BVN Architecture is a working prototype, but provides a space where people can gather and feel safe. . + BVN Architecture Images ©BVN Architecture.
