Design+Social Responsability: Room Room

June 22nd, 2009

Room Room is an architectural project to help during emergency situations, created by a partnership between Encore Heureux and G Studio.

It proposes rethinking as a way to solve one of the most critical moments of one’s existence, when people are unable to fullfil some of their most basic necessities, like having a roof over their heads. For that, the studioes created a versatile enviroment that can be moved in different ways and it needs minimal space to be “parked”, turning into a resting place and also a storage space.

The mobile house was conceived and developed through an invitation made by the NAMOC (China’s National Art Museum) that presented in may several projects in that style, created by 17 architects from all around the world. The exhibition, called “Crossing: Dialogues for Emergency Architecture”, had as primary objective to shed light over social reconstruction in areas where natural disasters happened, and also to remind the world about the Wenchuan Earthquake which happened over a year ago.
