After natural or man-made disasters, refugees have an urgent need for shelter. The Shelter Origami is compact, portable and easy to set up, offering provisional shelter until a long term solution is provided by authorities or humanitarian organizations. Based on the origami concept, the main material is foldable and recycled paper, similar to that used in Tetra Pack containers, which does well under normal conditions such as rain and wind.
