Developing countries often experience disasters such as recurring floods, which is why designer Robert Nightingale came up with the Water Shelter project that responds to such situations, focusing more in the geographical region of the Zambezi basin in Sub-Saharan Africa. This design makes it easy for the user to move around at a moment’s notice, boasting all the necessary tools and information that promotes self-sufficiency no matter what stage of the disaster is. In addition, the design addresses shelter, drinking water, product transport and information needs in a single device, making this a potential life saver in many situations. Good to see some altruistic designs coming out instead of those that do nothing but glorify the excesses of capitalism.
