DESIGN FOR DISASTER
Aleksandra Pfeifer
February-March 2015
THE IDEA
Something to be helpful
at the time when the
earthquake occurs
An earthquake can last
from 30 seconds to 6
minutes
Aftershocks
PANIC
ANXIETY
THE DESIGN PROBLEM:
 In schools (ages 6 and over) there are specific
procedures for when an earthquake occurs (“duck,
cover, hold”; hiding under the tables; helmets or
padded hats for every student).
 In kindergartens, there are no specific procedures.
Children play for most of the time in open playrooms,
and there is usually not enough objects to hide under.
 Children from the age of about 3 react to an
earthquake with panic as it’s an unknown experience
for them.
PURPOSE
Designing this structure I aimed to mitigate the devastating effects of
an earthquake by providing a safe venue (shelter) for children to hide
in case of an emergency.
 The structure is to withstand any possible crumbling of the building >
leaving children inside without any major injuries.
 To avoid disruption among children.
 To provide an asylum, comfort.
END USER: children in kindergartens, 3 to 6 years old
CLIENT: kindergartens
IN CASE OF AN EARTHQUAKE
(PROCEDURETO BE INTRODUCED BYTEACHERS)
In case of a quake children are to find a pair and go hide
inside an assigned shelter straight away
Stay inside until they are told it's safe to get out
Standing inside is not advised
If any major damage to the building structure occurs
children will stay inside until help arrives
DAYTO DAY - AS A STRUCTURE CHILDREN
CAN PLAY AROUND
SIMILARTO SOFT PLAY BLOCKS
WHAT IS IT MADE OF
 Steel reinforced rubber shell and thick layer of foam
Steel reinforced rubber shell and thick layer of foam
Rubber shell provides a steady and
sturdy shape
Ensures that the
space inside is
completely safe
Smaller space
provides a protective
environment
Foam ensures there won’t
be any major injuries
No injuries – less
panic/anxiety
MOUNTING WALLSTOTHE FLOOR
(THE SAME SYSTEM FOR PARTITIONWALLSANDTHE CENTRAL BEAM)
PROPOSED PLACEMENT OFTHE SHELTER
IN KINDERGARTEN PLAYROOMS
 The structure is suitable to be
placed in any interior of a
kindergarten in an earthquake
prone areas as long as the spatial
requirements of the number of
people in the room are
preserved.
(according to UK requirements: a
minimum of 2,5 sqm of the usable
room space per child)
