“PLUG IN HOSTEL”
By Demet Mutman and Alexandre Mussche
Special Mention Award

The main concept of the project is to create a “PLUG IN HOSTEL”. The aim is to create minimum cost and maximum sustainable shelter units within the livable urban regions within the city by relocating the victims of the disaster. By forming a system of mapping the destruction zones within the urban area, the project team targets framing the relocation spaces and relocating the disaster victims to not destructed or slightly effected urban areas. The idea of relocation of the victims from their previous destructed urban areas to the still livable safe zones within the city is based on the social and economic sustainablity concepts. By relocating the victims for a limited period of time and increasing the density of safe urban zones in the city for sheltering those people at, provides the project to connect and use the primary infrastructure of the city main and not building new, temporary infrastructures for the new developed settlements. On the other hand this kind of approach would take into consideration of the social backgrounds of the victims by not pushing them away from the community and social life but integrating them again with life in the urban centers in the case of social and cultural sustainability.

The main actors of collaboration for the project are the internal affairs ministry, institute for emergency aid for crisis, community centers of the city and the local inhabitants to provide hostels to the victims. Since the concept starts with the idea of hostel and to host, the collaboration and special agreement contracts would be created by the previously mentioned organizational actors. This kind of aggreements targets to organize the relationship between the host and the hostel by developing the plug in shelters and framing the functionality of the unit.
