Abstract

This chapter provides a critical review of the technical literature on building solutions for post-disaster emergency response. The review is divided into four sections, each focusing on a relevant aspect relating to the emergency, which is analysed within its disciplinary evolution: technological issues (Sect. 2.1), temporariness (Sect. 2.2), low tech /high tech (Sect. 2.3) and circular economy (Sect. 2.4). The method, which is common to all sections, starts from a recognised definition of each topic, which is then framed within current trends in the building sector, highlighting issues both of strength and weakness. The critical analysis is then extended to three paradigmatic cases of temporary emergency shelters built in developing countries adopting Low-Tech solutions, which are identified as innovative models that can be transferred to other contexts (Sect. 2.5).
