The Medecins Sans Frontieres facility in Brussels supplies emergency shelters to provide humanitarian relief all round the world.

A basic shelter is assembled quickly from a few poles, rope and some plastic sheeting, to provide shelter for a family for a few days.

In the canvas medical tent, doctors carry out medical procedures quickly and hygienically. This can be assembled in 30 minutes from a kit of parts, without using tools and is easily packed for transport across the world. The semi-permanent structure is designed to be made from different local materials such as timber, bamboo, plastic, corrugated iron or even bricks, with ingenious fastenings which use bottle tops and door hinges made from truck tyres.
