Eco Factor: Emergency shelter designed to be powered by renewable energy.

GEOTECTURA Architectural Studio has come with a concept emergency shelter that is both green and easy to deploy. Dubbed the X2Shelter or X2S, the emergency shelter can be airdropped to unreachable disaster zones and is powered by renewable energy. The X2S can be used as a standalone tent for dwelling, sanitation and health care and can also be connected with other X2S shelters to provide shelter for many people.

The shelter optimizes passive ventilation and illumination and also features solar panels and small wind turbines that provide the energy it needs for lighting and telecommunication. The X2S has a rain collector on its roof that stores water inside the structure’s poles. After use, the X2S can be folded for reuse or recycling.
