In an era marked by escalating natural disasters and displacement crises, the need for rapid-deployment, sustainable emergency shelters is imperative. This Directed Research Project (DRP) addresses this need by focusing on advancements in Rapid-Deployment Bamboo Shelters for the same. Utilising the sustainable and robust nature of bamboo, the project aims to relook emergency shelter solutions with a focus on speed, ecological responsibility, and structural resilience. This research will devise a quick assembly system to facilitate immediate, efficient shelter provision. By synthesising advanced computational design with the unique properties of bamboo, the project seeks to create a deployable structure that is not only swift to assemble but also intrinsically sustainable. Expected outcomes include a scalable shelter prototype, informed by meticulous research and innovative design practices, poised to make a significant impact in rapid deployment. In essence, the DRP endeavours not just to deliver an immediate housing solution but also to contribute a sustainable model to the canon of emergency response infrastructure.
