People ignore temporary housing due of its inefficiency and transient nature. Portable housing has various issues such as limited room or office space, poor comfort and inefficient use of resources. This study focuses on human population increase as construction scarcity of land, natural catastrophe response, demands for shows rooms production and building sustainability, and temporary housing comfort and security. Its modular design fits the needs of temporary housing (showrooms) while meeting the needs of industrial manufacturing. A last point strategic reserve and re-use improve product eco-friendliness. http://pubs.sciepub.com/ajcea/10/1/7/ajcea-10-1-7.pdf emergency buildings conservation modular design temporary housing
