This is not an ordinary building structure for residence but it has been specially designed for temporary disaster relief housing. This concept has been designed by New York‘s O.E.M named as MERP’s (Mobile Emergency Relief Ports). Each and every disaster prone areas need this kind of concept for the safety of its people. These buildings are designed in a zigzag manner, keeping in mind all precautionary measures. There is parking space available in the ground floor of every building. This concept will soon go Live as MERP’s are pulling into position.
Designer : Matthew Francke
So what is the curent news on these, are they still under construction or are they being tested because i havn't seen them any where and i heard a while ago that they started to make them.
You should try displaying larger images so we could read the text accompanying the mock ups.
At least you have placed a link to the original source, though it is just labeled as "New York" which is not very indicative of what the link is.
To heck with emergency digs – these 'shelters' beat my apartment as it is!
