According to a 2007 report by Christian Aid, the number of refugees worldwide is expected to exceed 1 billion by 2050. Using Finnish materials, our task is to design and build a transitional refugee shelter to be deployed quickly and efficiently in cold climates around the world. Size and weight limitations are important factors in designing a transitional shelter to be carried in pieces by two men, assembled in one day by the inhabitants and for a family of five to live in for a maximum of five years. The result is an open source, innovative low-tech solution that also demonstrates our commitment to sustainable materials, furthering wood building design, and reaching out to help communities around the globe.
The design of the Wood Program shelter – or “Liina” – is based on panelized construction that is assembled using nylon straps (or “liina” in Finnish), such as those found in the transportation of cargo. The use of straps makes the shelter airtight and allows for easy and secure assembly without the use of power tools or electricity. Repeated connections and modular assembly also help in making the entire shelter easy to assemble in one day. The specially designed SIPs (or “structurally insulated panels”) are made of plywood with a Kerto LVL (laminated veneer lumber) wood frame and filled with VITAL wood fiber insulation. The roof of the shelter and adjoining covered terrace is covered in a textile for protection from the sun, rain and snow and can be replaced when the shelter is moved or re-purposed after the crisis. The entire package arrives flat-packed and all components are sized to fit into a standard shipping container.
While the shelter is meant for use in any cold weather emergency situation, initial calculations were made based on site information from the Ararat Region on the borders of Turkey, Iran, Armenia and Azerbaijan. This hypothetical starting point gave us the data we needed for calculating wind and snow loads, earthquake requirements, and heating and cooling needs during the year. The design of Liina is meant to adapt to a variety of cultural needs and environmental situations.

One goes away the other stays
Have they forgotten their promises?
At the least laugh, at the least gesture
Trueloves have no more address
When one goes away and the other stays
Is there any sin other than youth's?
Is there any past other than leaving nothing?
Trueloves are in distress
When one leaves and the other stays
Stay at your place
Age without me
Don't call me anymore
Erase me
Tear up my letters
And stay there
Tomorrow maybe
You will come back
Gesture of love and tenderness
Like two birds missing drunkenness
Trueloves have no more address
When one goes away and the other stays
Are they sorrowful as soon as they hurt you?
On the next day of clumsiness
Trueloves are in distress
When one leaves, and the other stays
Some sad farewells
So much illusions
If it's a game
It will be no
Give me my letters back
And stay there
Tomorrow maybe
You will understand
Some sad farewells
So much illusions
If it's a game
It will be no
Give me my letters back
And stay there
Tomorrow maybe
You will understand
They won't forget their promises
They will write to each other at the same addresses
Trueloves recognize each other
When one leaves and the other stays
