Natural disasters occur historically in Turkey. Major earthquakes affecting many cities, heavy rains and landslides cause damage to many communities. The cost of the damage caused by natural disasters has been paid a great price economically as a country.Families lose most of their little possessions and have to stay in shelters temporarily.Families lose most of their little possessions and have to stay in shelters temporarily. These rarely offer the necessary conditions for emotional recovery for residents who, when they must find an intimate setting, are often faced with violent spaces where there is no privacy. Thus, the idea for this project was born: to design a temporary shelter that provides comfort, protection and privacy for communities affected by disasters. These were made to be loaded by women as the main victims were themselves and children. The project also aims to combat idleness with the proposal of a balcony that allows for daily work or leisure activities. The module also provides flexibility in material selection and implantation composition. It has been developed in fittings and has an objective mounting guide. Escape routes were designed for inner community guidance and entryways applied as an invitation to the city. By targeting the use of post-disaster modules, other usage ideas such as fairs and education projects were proposed, thus transcending the idea of being temporary.
