“QS72/Quick Space 72 hour”
temporary shelter for disaster emergencies

Daiichi Kensetsu Corporation, Kawakami Sangyo Co., Ltd.

QS72 is a system of emergency relief space employing metabolic development of a single module unit. The system was developed as a portable architecture to support disaster evacuees’ mental security. Right after the occurrence of a disaster, QS72 can be quickly deployed, and providing living space as comfortable as possible. The module system here was intended to make it capable for prompt support dispatched from local disaster relief quarters by means of rationalizing stocks and supplies. QS72’s multiplication system can make a village composing a community by flexibly combining a minimum unit of the system. At the Great East Japan Earthquake on March 11, 2011, the system was freighted to the disaster area by the support of YKK AP, and at Japanese Red Cross Ishinomaki Hospital, they were used for temporary medical facilities and a voluntary center.
