Syria’s civil war has created the worst humanitarian crisis of our time 11 million people — have been displaced from their homes. Displaced People are still living in structures that are hazardous to their health, insufficient for normal day activity, and socially unacceptable.

The new typology is to Create a temporary settlement that displaced people are incapable of doing, a settlement that have housing units with there facilities. These units can be delivered by land, sea or sky directly to the effected location. It can be mounted on truck, ship or air plane that would be towed to the site from remote storage locations and ready for immediate occupancy.
