The research aims to give a response to the emergency housing that occurs after catastrophic events by proposing a low-cost solution through innovative constructions. The illustrated solution - based on a living module composed by four adjacent sections that can be connected to each other or to new ones - combines the concepts of minimum and affordability with those of efficiency and sustainability.
