In collaboration with Lincoln Laboratory and the Urban Risk Lab at MIT, Digital Structures is evaluating the current state of the FEMA post-disaster housing assistance mission with the goal of identifying improvements and proposing alternatives that will decrease costs and increase user satisfaction. The structural research seeks to address the problem of optimizing typology between a one-size-fits-all housing solution and location-specific customization by anticipating the disparity among different environmental loads around the country and imaging a system that can dynamically respond to those loads with minimal customization and cost impacts. This project entails a full analysis of multiple FEMA programs incorporating supply chain, policy, and risk assesment in coordination with a variety of groups throughout MIT.
