### Architectural Analysis Report: Tailored Tiny Homes as Emergency Shelters in Al-Haouz, Morocco

#### Project Overview

The project focuses on the design and implementation of adaptable emergency shelters in response to the September 2023 earthquake in Al-Haouz, Morocco. Aimed at creating functional habitats, these shelters prioritize resilience and community interaction in the aftermath of natural disasters. The architectural approach emphasizes modularity and flexibility, allowing for a configuration that meets the immediate needs of affected individuals while fostering a sense of community among residents.

#### Spatial Configuration and User Interaction

The layout comprises interlinked tiny homes organized in a format that encourages communal living while respecting individual privacy. Shared spaces for social activities are integrated into the design, promoting interaction among residents who may be experiencing trauma and loss. The project features semi-open spaces that facilitate both connection and personal retreat, addressing the diverse needs of occupants.

The modular design allows for adjustable configurations of essential furnishings, such as beds and tables, which maximize the use of limited space. The integration of retractable modules further enhances functionality, enabling residents to customize their living spaces according to necessity.

#### Material Selection and Structural Integrity

The shelters utilize a variety of materials chosen for their durability, thermal insulation properties, and ease of assembly. QuadCore AWP LEC wall panels provide structural integrity, while Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) partitions enhance interior comfort and efficiency. Oak plywood is used for the interior cladding to create an aesthetically pleasing yet resilient environment.

The structural system is optimized with triangular modules for both floors and roofs, ensuring stability and facilitating rapid installation. Adjustable feet on the base support allow the shelters to adapt to uneven ground conditions typically found in disaster-affected areas. A robust metal support structure complements the overall design, contributing to long-term adaptability and performance. Sustainable practices guide material choices, ensuring minimal environmental impact while supporting a projected lifespan of at least five years under normal conditions.

Competition organisers

The Buildner’s Unbuilt Award 2025 is an international architecture competition dedicated to recognizing and celebrating the value of unrealized architectural designs. It invites architects, designers, and students worldwide to submit visionary projects that have not yet been constructed, highlighting the power of ideas and the creativity behind the design process. By focusing on unbuilt work, the competition aims to bring forward concepts that shape the future of architecture and push the boundaries of the profession. 

Participants can compete in three categories based on project scale: Small Wonders (up to 100 m²), Medium Marvels (101–999 m²), and Large Visions (over 1,000 m²). Each category winner will receive €20,000, and additional prizes include honorable mentions, student awards, and a special Best Presentation Award. Winning projects will gain significant international exposure through Buildner’s publicity campaign and a feature article on ArchDaily, providing a unique opportunity to showcase creative ideas to a global audience. 

The Buildner’s Unbuilt Award 2025 encourages entrants to submit any type of unbuilt project, from conceptual visions to detailed designs, celebrating bold innovation without the constraints of realization. Important deadlines: registration closes on October 30, 2025; submissions are due by November 20, 2025; winners will be announced on December 17, 2025.
