#DES_feedback_A4 #DES_NGA #DES_feedback_A4_verticaloasis Very inspiring project proposal! Page 2. I really like you general design concept! Sustainability principles in all aspects in a refugee camp or community relocation site is very refreshing. Page 3. SODA CAN ROOF. Interesting... you might need to elaborate who and where this recycling is done. Can it be easily replicated by local NGOs working on the ground? VERTICAL GARDEN. I love them! Word of caution though, irrigation can be a challenge and costly on higher elevation of the wall. You can use potted plants on lower elevation but if you want to go higher, I suggest fruits and vegetable that are vine variety because Irrigation will be at ground level. I would love to see how this is integrated in your design. RAINWATER HARVEST. You show the bottle purification. But is the rainwater collection/harvesting integrated in your shelter design? SOLAR BOTTLES. They are great for retrofits for dark and non-ventilated spaces! But you have the opportunity in this design to do a well ventilated and naturally day-lit shelter. I am not so keen on this for this project. ECOSAN. I have used this in my projects. This is a great opportunity to use the compost to your garden. Also EcoSan needs ash or sawdust to work properly. You might need to study how and where you can avail of these. WOOD PALETTES. I like this idea. Have you done your research if these are readily available in third world countries... and get a sense it it is really feasible using them. Page 4. Great idea on using locally available and indigenous materials as insulation and finishing materials! STRUCTURAL STEEL FRAMING. Is this going to be built/assembled on site?... or is it going to be transported to the site in one piece? If so, please study its dimensions so it will fit into shipping containers or trucks during transport. The foyer and balcony seems to be cantilevered, but the steel framing do not seem to support this. Please clarify. Based on my experience, steel can be expensive. You might want also to consider options in lieu of steel to whatever is available locally. Working on Haiyan projects, Bamboo and/or CocoLumber were our options for inexpensive structural framing materials. UPPER/LOWER SPACE. The plans doesnt seem to show this in contrast to your general design concept. Page 5. ROLLING SITE CONDITION. Please also show how you will address footing on a sloped site condition. DISASTER RESILIENCY. Please exhibit how can this structure withstand strong winds and earthquake. Page 6. WATER DIVERTERS. It is not clear how this works in your project. SOIL TOILET PLAN. Needs further information/details. How do you harvest the compost? EcoSan do not use water... how will you address cultural issues like locals are mostly washers and needs water to clean themselves off. EcoSan has bidets for this purpose. You might want to study this further. PAGE 7. VERTICAL STACKING. Please have more detailed plans, section and elevations to show this. CLUSTERS. Are these cluster of 10 families?... It seems not clear on how this works. Where will the communal WASH (Water Sanitary Hygiene) units located in realtion to the cluster? CAMP/SITE PLAN. At this point of the course you should have already a general concept of the Site Plan layout and show how all the open spaces, public facilities, shelter clusters, vehicular/pedestrian access, etc. all works together. I suggest that you also need to pick potential sites for the project so you can already address social, environmental, economic and climate/weather related issues. Good research work... I look forward and see how you further develop your design.
