May I start of this post with saying that I'm such a design groupie for Shigeru Ban and his work.
While trawling the internet for inspiration I came across this project he did for a tsunami shelter in Japan. When looking at disaster relief shelters one is always aware at the lack of privacy that comes with it. Understandably, disater relief shelters are not 5 start but is it still possible to create a sense of privacy in a cost effective and sustainable way? Shigeru Ban definitely thinks so.
He created a partitionins system that consists of two sizes of cardboard tubing, plywood, ropes and white curtains. The system allows for quick assembly and disassembly.
