Typology 
Experimental prototype of temporary housing with nzeb (Nearly Zero Energy Building) standards 
 

In recent years, the field of architecture has proposed innovative solutions in humanitarian contexts, with architects such as Shigeru Ban developing temporary housing for emergency situations. These interventions have demonstrated how design can respond rapidly and effectively to the fundamental needs of people affected by sudden crises.

This project aims to explore new possibilities in temporary housing, providing a practical solution even in critical contexts. The system is based on recycled container modules, fully reversible, allowing for rapid installation and removal without leaving permanent impacts on the site.

The concept also incorporates nearly zero-energy building (nZEB) principles, with insulated walls and design strategies that minimize energy demand while maximizing efficiency. The result is a functional, safe, and comfortable housing solution that ensures user well-being while meeting sustainability and adaptability standards.
