Temporary Permanent Master of Architecture Architecture MADA Now 2022

Georgia Frendo

My project explores how a temporary solution to post-disaster housing can become permanent. This project is a form of incremental housing, where the initial response provides immediate protection from the elements by a roof that covers a grid of columns. Over time, the system allows each home owner to build upon and personalise their structure to suit their needs. The materiality meets BAL FZ requirements, while the overall form responds to the average suburban lot size, resulting in a design that can be applicable in a wide variety of sites.

Progression Over Time

In this case study, Terry the wildlife carer utilises the initial structure to provide immediate shelter to the native fauna affected by the recent bushfires. The second image shows the transformation of this space to a more permanent dwelling in the long term.
