Parametric Shelter
Parametric Shelter is a type of emergency or temporary housing designed using computer-based rules that quickly adjust the size, shape, and structure to fit different needs or locations. In humanitarian design, these shelters can be made to fit local weather, the number of people, or available materials by changing a few settings in the design software. This helps teams create safe and comfortable shelters very fast, which is important after disasters. Designers can use local building materials and simple construction methods, which makes it easier for communities to build these shelters themselves.
