BEREmergency Shelter UPOP Nepal
Design a small scale yet bia in idea mid-disaster
emergency shelter for Nepal - Tibet. We explore
lightweight materials that can be massively produced
pre-assembled, collapsible, stored, transported when in
need and easily assembled using minimum tools at site
It is designed with humanitarianism for high flexibility,
modularity and adaptability, complementing with
upcycling possibilities after the shelter is no longer in
use. We call the process ‘unfolding a new hope’

Chicago, IL, USA
We explored the concent of kit of
parts and came up with a project with
4 components and multiple forms.
The idea is to give the participants
the ability to change periodically and
transform throughout the day, week
month, or seasons will visually remind
people of the “kiosk’s" presence,
