In the second installment of the Solos exhibition series, Cooper-Hewitt presents Australian architect Sean Godsell’s architectural prototype FutureShack, a low-cost, mobile housing project which addresses the shelter needs of refugees and displaced or homeless persons around the world.
This temporary dwelling, made from a 22-foot-long shipping container, was originally designed for Architecture for Humanity in Melbourne. FutureShack contains water tanks, solar power cells, an access ramp, a roof ladder, and a parasol roof, and can be assembled within 24 hours.
