'graph' crossing dialogues emergency architecture
August 2, 2009 
'graph' by rintala eggertsson architects was developed for the 'crossing: dialogues
for emergency architecture exhibition held at NAMOC (national art museum of china).
their concept was based on modular building blocks made from laminated wood with
a textile cover that provides insulation and waterproofing. these structures are easily
transportable and lightweight, allowing them to be easily assembled in disaster stricken
areas.
