Abstract (EN): This work resulted from a multidisciplinary project (PP nº 97) supported by the University of Porto, concerning the areas of architecture, engineering and design. It was established in two phases, “project” and “manufacture”. The “project” includes the modelling of components (design) for architectural proposes, while the “manufacture” deals with different composite materials (engineering) for expeditious construction solutions. Both phases allowed the creating of temporary shelter facilities, executed with few resources and with residual local materials, appropriated for situations of natural catastrophes or other social action’s needs.
