One-Joint: A Cost Effective Solution to Improve the Construction of Disaster Relief Shelters

根据联合国难民事务高级专员公署的数据，2014年，约有4.2万名男子、妇女和儿童在自己的国家成为难民、寻求庇护者或流离失所。因此，对临时和过渡性庇护所的需求正在加剧。然而，由国际救援机构提供的传统避难所往往无法发挥作用，无法充分满足难民和其他有需要的人的经济、社会和环境要求。Taylor Garfit Ltd设计了一种小型、轻便且具有成本效益的联合系统，可以整合到避难所中，作为其他救灾解决方案中现有的分发框架结构的替代方案。

According to UNHCR, ~42,000 men, women and children become refugees, asylum seeker or were displaced in their own countries every day in 2014. Consequently the need for temporary and transitional shelters is intensifying. However traditional shelter kits, provided by international relief agencies, are often unable to function and respond adequately to the economic, social and environmental requirements of refugees and other people in need.Taylor Garfit Ltd has designed a small, lightweight and cost effective joint system that can be incorporated into shelter kits and used as an alternative to distributing frame structures present in other disaster relief solutions.
