Weekend up to the Farm
So as many of you may know of a Melbourne Architect called Sean Godsell. I was lucky enough to see one of his projects called the "Futureshack." The Future shack is an emergency relief housing concept which is made from recycled shipping contained. This was chosen as they are approx 8 feet wide by 8 feet high by 20 feet long which is an adequate size for temporary relieft housing. They are also also to ship and weatherproof aswell as inexpensive.
Sourced from the architects website he mentions factors why the Future Shack is perfect for emergency relief housing
1 Mass Production
Steel shipping containers are robust and durable. They are a mass produced and inexpensive universal module which forms the basis of this design.
2 Flexibility
As a base module the containers can be stockpiled for use on an ‘as required’ basis. They are designed to be transported by trucks and ships and trains- all infrastructure for the handling of the module is available world wide.
3 Ease of siting
Packed inside the container is a pair of steel brackets which are fixed to the outside of the container. Inside the brackets are four legs which telescope out and which can therefore enable the module to be sited without the need for extensive site preparation.
4 Self Contained
Also packed within the container are water tanks, solar power cell, satellite receiver, roof access ladder, container access ramp and parasol roof. The basic container is also modified to provide thermal insulation to R4.0 and to allow through a series of openable vents the free flow of fresh air.
5 Ablution
Each module has the capacity to be fitted with bathroom /kitchen depending upon local requirements.
6 Parasol Roof
The parasol roof provides a universal symbol of home. It also shelters the roof of the module, providing a thermal cushion between the module and direct solar radiation as well as a contained and protected outdoor space. The roof panels provide a shading co-efficient of 0.49 and can be interchanged with indigenous materials such as thatch, mud and stick, palm leaves and so on.
7 Mobile + Reusable
Future Shack can be packed back into itself and relocated or stockpiled for future use.
It is therefore legitimately described as fully recyclable fully self sustainable architecture.
Time required for assembly on site - 24 hours
Attached are some images of the Future Shack which were taken on my mobile phone

Finally Pirie Street is alive again!
So, i guess this is my first post on Blogger!
Firstly, i would like to say welcome to Archwill, a blog which shares my compassion for architecture from Australia and around the world.
Introducing myself, i am a 20 year old Architecture student who had just completed my Bachelor of Architecture at RMIT in Melbourne Australia. I have always had a passion for architecture since i remember, and am an active user on skyscrapercity.com which i visit numerous times daily.
I love building developments across Australia aswell as tower cranes and enjoy watching cities change progressively through postings on the forum.
Currently my favourite development in Australia is 49 - 57 Pirie Street Adelaide, which is a proposed 22 Level Office Development that was initially proposed in March 2009, although that was the last heard of it until a council submission from the developer on the 1st of November 2010 to construct the tower. I am amazed with this tower how it uses the existing neighboring buildings facade within the lobby, and i think the development looks extremely high quality. The architect is Fitzpatrick, who are responsible for Sydney's news Macquarie Bank HQ as well as Perth's currently under construction BHP tower.
So that is all for tonight. Stay tuned as I love sharing my passion with people who actually care about Architecture!! Thankyou
