Cocoon by Woods Bagot is a Comforting Emergency Shelter for Four

People are understandably insecure when natural disasters destroy their homes, so the Australian firm <a href="http://www.woodsbagot.com/en/Pages/CocoonEmergencyShelterExhibitionAug2012.aspx">Woods Bagot</a> designed an <a href="http://inhabitat.com/emergency-shelters-and-disaster-relief-for-the-people-of-haiti/">emergency shelter</a> that would provide victims with a cozy, temporary reprieve. Originally displayed at Brisbane's King George Square as part of the <a href="http://www.emergencyshelteraustralia.com/indexB.html">2012 Emergency Shelter Exhibition</a>, Cocoon provides emergency shelter for up to four displaced people.

This is a temporary shelter designed to give relief to victims of natural disasters

Called Cocoon, the shelter was exhibited as part of the Brisbane 2012 Emergency Shelter Exhibition

Woods Bagot wanted to give victims of natural disasters a cozy place to call home

It is constructed simply out of timber and clad in whatever materials are available locally

Netting, chicken wire and palm fronds are all suitable cladding materials

Although some people might be put off by the transparency, nonetheless this is a good, efficient concept that can fit up to four people
