Abstract
Presentation in Reed 214
The goal of this project is to design and construct a tiny house with multiple potential applications including homeless shelter, temporary residence for refugee communities, ‘new field’ missionary housing, and disaster relief housing for governmental and non-governmental organizations in times of crisis. The intent is to make the house modular, self-contained, durable, and low-maintenance for both favorable and harsh environments. Design will embrace a minimum life-expectancy of ten years and aims to make construction components non-toxic and recyclable. To address issues of applicability to international relief crises, Dr. Gary Morsch, founder and CEO of Heart to Heart International, will be consulted.
Credit for the envisioning of this project goes to a friend of Dr. Seok Lew, a pastor (Rev. Kim) to the homeless church (House of Prayer for All Nations), who constructed a tiny house in his garage during the Covid-19 pandemic and delivered it to a homeless people.
