DIGITAL CATALOGUE

In this paper, digital catalogue was utilized in the design process of a prototype disaster shelter. With the use of 17 components from 5 categorized groups, prototype design can be transform through the reconfiguration of the components. In fig. 9, structure not only transforms into another form of structure but also various furniture layouts can be produced. Design of furniture or individual resting units can be effectively used for the public after use of the shelter. Morphological transformation of a disaster shelter through the application of traditional Korean joinery system was performed to suggest a flexibility and mobility in a prototype disaster shelter design. It shows the possible application of BIM parametric environment in prefabrication and individual component generation. The significance of digital catalogue is in that each component can be user dependant. The catalogue allows a user to assign various parameters to the variables of each component according to its usage. By assigning different parameter, the component has flexibility for generating various joint connections enhancing the morphological transformation of a prototype shelter design.
