Polyshelter is an exploration into the realm of deployable modular structures. With applications ranging from temporary housing and disaster relief shelters to medical facilities, these structures present an ideal solution for various scenarios. Notably, the project’s design process unfolds in two key phases: first, the meticulous design of a deploying mechanism, and second, the innovation of an automated site-design process.
