A famed architect designed a futuristic fully recyclable concrete bunker to house people who have been displaced — take a look inside

• Holcim and the Norman Foster Foundation created a concrete tiny home to house people who have been displaced.
• The home was built using materials like rollable, low-carbon concrete and recycled materials.

Sustainably housing people who have been displaced long term could just require a bit of rollable low-carbon concrete and recycled materials, according to a new housing concept from Holcim and the Norman Foster Foundation.

Several startups have developed shelters for unhoused people. From prefab tiny home communities to 3D-printed units, these solutions flex both creativity and current construction technology. But Holcim and the Norman Foster Foundation have forged a different approach: Combine the brainpower of a famed architect with the building power of a sustainable construction company to create a sleek and eco-friendly concrete bunker with the power to shelter people long term.
