RED RELIEF

red housing1

New York architecture firm Orba devised Red+Housing as a prototype relief shelter in the aftermath of the 2008 earthquake in Sichuan, China.

Made of bamboo, the cruciform structure is topped with a red fabric roof, making it visible to relief planes while adding to its light-hearted look.

The firm is fine-tuning the design so it can be erected absolutely anywhere on the planet!
