Cutwork<\/a>, award-winning Paris-based studio, with Cortex Shelter<\/strong>, offers new emergency housing solutions<\/strong>\u00a0aimed at ensuring greater safety and wellness to displaced people living in tent cities.

Refugees and natural disasters, a global phenomenon on the rise<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Displaced people are often accommodated in inefficient camps<\/strong>, with temporary tents replaced every six months, communal bathrooms and kitchens, poor hygiene and health conditions. In several areas of the world, tent cities become permanent solutions<\/strong> for a lot of people. That\u2019s why Cutwork has designed new housing systems to favor privacy, wellbeing and hygiene<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The characteristics of the new Cortex Shelter housing systems <\/strong><\/h3>\n

To build Cortex Shelter<\/strong>, metallic tubes are easily bent by hand and locked into architectural structures to create the frame. Waterproof and washable insulation sheets are then \u2018snapped and locked\u2019 onto the metal frame. Finally, Cortex Composites\u2019 innovative and environmentally friendly concrete textile<\/strong> is laid over the exterior frame. By adding water, concrete hardens in 24 hours, creating a fully protective shell over the structure.<\/p>\n

Cutwork\u2019s new housing units are weather, fire and attack proof. Within them, doors are key-operated and floors are made of concrete. Interior walls are washable and offer the ideal thermal insulation. The windows provide good aeration and make rooms brighter. Cortex Shelter is also equipped with solar panels to supply energy, kitchen, bathroom with private shower and toilet.<\/p>\n

Cutwork is cost-conscious<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Cortex Shelter<\/strong> uses flat-pack shipping and does not need skilled labor since it is very easy to install. Cortex Composites<\/strong>\u2019 innovative material is more efficient and affordable than standard concrete as it requires less time to install and to dry, offering more than three times the compressive strength (9000+ psi) as traditional concrete and cutting carbon emissions by 90%.<\/p>\n
