-THE AMPHIBIOUS CONTAINER-
by: Dipl.-Ing. Arch. Richard Moreta, MArch
Amphibious housing - structures built on land that rise and fall with the water level - is a unique innovative idea.

The inevitable rise in sea level that comes with climate change is going to make it increasingly difficult to control flooding in low-lying lands all around the planet. Architect Richard Moreta from Richard's Architecture + Design had created for Green Container International Aid the "AMPHIBIOUS CONTAINER", a house that will float in case of floods!

-All Catastrophy (flood, hurricane, earthquake, impact deformation) Solution-

A Solution for Pakistan, an Amphibious Design from Abandoned Transport container Vans used as a potential answer to the lack of housing for the homeless Pakistanis.

The need for speedy provision of housing in case of emergencies was reiterated after the disastrous floods in Pakistan. To address this issue, an international team of designers, headed by Richard Moreta, proposed recycling and adapting "Amphibious Design" shipping containers for temporary living needs by following a simple, inexpensive, and easy to implement design and assembly process.

Reused shipping pallets, recycled construction materials, inner tubes from trucks, and scraps from the structures affected in catastrophes used to construct the sustainable architecture from the "Green Container International Aid"
