In the modern era, the need for the creation of temporary shelters to serve and ensure the survival of those affected by natural disasters is imperative. It is observed that in the event of a natural disaster, numerous processes must be carried out, the entities involved vary, and the planning of temporary housing in a specific location is a time-consuming procedure, time that is unavailable due to the urgency of the situation. Therefore, proactive forecasting and the design of prefabricated, modular structures will serve as a crucial tool for the optimal management of such phenomena and the faster organization when the need arises.Great attention is paid to a variety of issues, such as the profile of the users and their needs, speed, cost-efficiency, and the selection of resources that are readily available. This is not an architectural study aimed at mere comfortable living but primarily focused on addressing immediate and temporary needs. For these reasons, it is important to design a unit that can be replicated based on the scale of the disaster and the number of those affected, thereby creating a functional settlement tailored to each situation.
