FURNITURE FOR TEMPORARY PLANNED CAMPS: CLASSIFICATION PROPOSAL

Abstract

Furniture is characteristic of human civilization and has been used more than 15,000 years ago, having different characteristics depending on use. Global unsustainability brought refugees: politicians, wars and environmental catastrophes, creating a need for specific places to shelter this population as temporary planned camps. They are provisional structures with especific furniture, ture. Being subject to environmental conditions and intense use, the materials used must be light, easy to assemble, using materials with low environmental impact and low cost, among other characteristics. This paper contributes to the systematization of information to be made available on a platform called Infrashelter, aimed at cataloging structures for planned camps, and particularly, the furniture and materials used in these structures. As a partial result of the research a cataloging structure is proposed, which allows the identification of the furniture present in them, their constituent materials and main characteristics that can be used as project references.
