Myanmar: Shelter Design Catalogue (Version 1 - December, 2023)

Description: 

"Introduction The shelter design is contextual considering the response phase, cultural and specific aspects of geographical area and users. It is fundamental that shelter programs consider the use of local materials, skills and building techniques, as well involve the affected communities from the initial stages. Considering the diversity of Myanmar and complexity of context, the cluster together with partners developed this catalogue compiling in a single document the shelter designs across the country for quick consultation, comparative analysis and support decision making within shelter programs. It was designed for use by cluster partners, nonetheless the information may be relevant to partitioners that are supporting shelter programmes. Future revision should be consider for upgraded and new designs, thus this catalogue should be consider as a ‘live’ document. The designs in this catalogue follow three sessions as the response phase and hubs covered: SHORT - TERM (Up to 1.5 years) solutions with materials that are intended to be removed once the next stage of shelter solution is offered or when the crisis is over and IDPs can return to their homes. Usually, these are constructed with limited costs. MID- TERM (Up to 5 years) that are made with materials and techniques that are designed to transition into more permanent structures. The shelter should be upgradeable, reusable, resaleable or moveable from temporary sites to permanent locations. LONG- TERM It is a solution designed with more permanent and durable solution structures/materials. Over 5 years..."
