Design Criteria
o The materials for this build will need to be strong with insulation on the inside to
keep the place cool. The materials will also need to be light weight and must be
very easy to clean
Natural light and airflow used in the container
Cool colours
o What is the age and style to suit? (2 adults 2 children)
What is the users religion or cultural background?
What is the user interested in?
Male and Female users
o Financial and social position of the user, usually identified by employment status,
salary level or educational background.
o How much space, will the user need a open plan living design?
Is the design user centred and practical for the people living in it?
o The design needs to fit the client’s personal life such as medical problems life
issues mental status.
(If the client has lost someone when the disaster occurred or are they disabled in
any way.)
o Where is the user based what country will the user be living in and what will be the
conditions of the placement be. (Flood water’s, cyclone, volcanic, tsunami etc.)
o While the user will be living in the container there will need to be things for the
client to do like grow plants have an animal or bike racks.
o Airflow: there will need to be airflow throughout the building as it is a small building
and will get hot in the summer months, Lots of windows, vents and shutters around
the building.
o Natural lighting will be a key item in the design process, this will allow natural light
and air to come through the house.

Design Brief (Part A)
In 2015 Cyclone Marcia wiped out several hundred homes leaving
hundreds of family’s homeless. The client, Emergency Relief
Organisations, (ERO) require, a very practical disaster relief shelter. The
disaster relief unit will need to be sustainable, efficient, and user-centred.
The relief shelter will also need to be easily transported in and out of
disaster-affected areas.
ERO will be providing shipping containers for the disaster relief shelter,
the measurement of the container that will be used limits the design
aspects to a restricted 40-foot shipping container. The fitout for the
container will need to be suitable for a family of four, and will need to
consist of a range of design factors. The most important design factor’s
being user centred design, elements and principles of design, design
strategies and materials. These factors will be a key process for the build,
as the victims will need to stay in these disaster relief shelters for months.
Space is very limited as we are restricted to a shipping container, the use
of brainstorming, productive planning and meeting’s will be needed to
complete a suitable design for the user. There will be much needed
attention to development of insightful solutions, to make the use of space
and materials very sufficient. Window louvers will be placed in the
building, as they will produce high rates of airflow and natural light inside
the building, keeping the house cool and full of light.
Explanation and improvement on the design will need to be taken up with
the disaster officials of Australia and also around the world. Interviews will
be taking place to get ideas and client’s opinions, on work that will need to
be done, to achieve and solve the design problem. There will be research
taking place to find solutions for the design problem and also on the type’s
of areas that are effected by these natural disasters and their original
living condition’s.
2D and 3D Graphical representations and cad modelling will need to be
provided to show the layout and design of the shipping container and all
of its design aspects. Multiple sketches and diagrams will need to be
created, focusing on the living needs of the user and considerations for
the type of user staying in the disaster relief shelter. Sectional views, fitout
and finishes, electrical layouts and final layouts will need to be produced
in CAD programs to show the client.

Evaluation
The “EmergencyCapsule” has been created in care and effortas all of the
designfactors and criteria have be consideredand used accordingly
making the overall designa success.The designfactors created helped
the making of conceptdrawings that all had potential of being a final
designas they all have the according designcriteria implemented in the
drawings. As a result of all drawings having the according designcriteria,
the final chosenplan was taken from all of the drawings combined and
used key elements from all plans.
The problems that has arisen during the design creation were that the size
of the container was very small creating certain elements of the design to
change also fitting the right amount of furniture and correctsizes to give
the user a easy space to live in whilst bringing the home comforts into
building. Another problem that was faced during the processof designwas
airflow and natural lighting, as the space in the container is not large the
windows and door had to be large enough to allow airflow and natural light
to get in. In the bathroom there is a small shutter that is the length of the
back wall, this helped solve the issue of airflow as the top of each wall was
cut down so that the shutter will allow air to enter and exit the building with
ease bringing the fresh air in.
Overall the project has gone to plan and fulfilled the brief all of the design
factors and designcriteria have both been implemented into the design
and the creation of the “EmergencyCapsule”.
Graphical representations:
2D and 3D Graphical representations and cad modelling have been
produced to show the layout and design of the shipping container and all
of its design aspects. Multiple sketches and diagrams have also been
created, focusing on the living needs of the user and considerations for
the type of user staying in the disaster relief shelter. A floor plan has been
produced for the builder with full measurements so that the building can
be produced, an electrical plan will be created so that an electrician can
fitout lights, switches and power points. A fitout plan was also created so
that the client could see the final product, interior; exterior and all
sectional views have been created the help the builder further in making
the builder. Detail views have been made to show all necessary elements
of design and finally a presentational view has been created to show off
the final design through rendering.
