SpaceEra
SpaceEra (A standard SPACE developed for the pandemic ERA and beyond): · Effective maintaining social distancing and other healthcare precautions. Quarantine/Isolation shelter proposal for COVID-19 Patients.
As we all know how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected each one of us across the world, and the lockdown that followed was quite disheartening, it was during this lockdown period that I thought of doing something useful /productive for my country. Putting together quite many thoughts, I came up with the idea of creating a shelter home for effective quarantining. This prototype named SpaceEra serves not only as a safe quarantine shelter but also can be used as a shelter home in flood and earthquake-prone regions too. Below are the salient features of SpaceEra.

· It's highly efficient during this pandemic period.
Though this project was made keeping in mind its usefulness in India (for its durability, cost-effective and easy to handle), the same can be used worldwide too.
· Effective maintaining social distancing and other healthcare precautions for-
1. Quarantine/Isolation shelter proposal for COVID-19 Patients.
2. Hospital Incremental Proposal.
3. Portable Washroom Unit.
4. Portable testing Clinic Unit.
5. The same shelter can be used for Migrants and healthcare workers.
---- Multipurpose as the same can be used as -----
· Night and food shelter
· Refugee Camp
· Army Base camp
· Flood and Earthquake Relief Camp
· Low-cost housing unit.
Here is the back story :-
Case 1:- Mass Quarantine shelter for COVID-19 suspect/patient/migrant.
• Disadvantages:- If a single patient is positive there, there is a high possibility that it could be communicated to healthy individuals.
• Result:- Defeats the purpose of quarantine shelters, posing more individuals at risk of deadly covid and further inflating the number and pressure on already crumbling medical infrastructure,
Case 2 :- home quarantine for suspects/patients with mild symptoms.
• Disadvantages:- He/She can easily spread the virus to their family members, neighbours, etc.. Also, if the doctors visits the patients at their home, there is a high possibility of our Corona warriors to catch the virus and vice versa.
• Result:- More covid-19 patients mean more critical patients, resulting high pressure to medical system(Hospitals),causing high death rate, and economic loss.
• My Vision "Space Era"
A standard “SPACE” for Pandemic “ERA” and beyond.
If we can make small isolation units(SpaceEra) in every area/constituency comprising of Quarantine shelters/Isolation shelter ensuring social distancing amongst all patients, we can minimize the spread.
• Advantages:- Minimize the risk of community spread & contact transfer and at the same time providing the psychological comfort of being quarantined within one’s locality.
•Result Quarantined individuals & their families are spared from the alienization of the quarantine shelter as the individual would be quarantined not far from his home. This would eventually minimize the pressure on medical infrastructure, corona warriors and government.
My vision is for the colonies, crowded areas, hotspot areas where there is ,playgrounds ,open spaces ,etc.
----------------------------------------------
My Covid-19 shelter design proposal can reduce the emissions in different kind of ways. The best advantages are :-
• Portable
• Durable
• Easy Customization
• Easy dismantle
• Recyclable
• Adaptable in extreme weather
• Easy Construction
• Lightweight yet tough
• Time efficient
• Cost-efficient
Its specific pandemic situation advantages are:-
• Require Less Manpower -Can achieve social distancing during construction.
• EASY TO CLEAN- Can be reused by new patients.
(SANITIZE).
• Easy to Scale -Can expand the space as per requirement.
• Multi-purpose Use- Can be used as a Quarantine shelter / Isolation shelter/migrant shelter/healthcare worker shelter/ portable testing unit/ portable toilet unit.
---------------------------------------------
My project is directly helping the humankind in this crisis. It is also covering the Sustainable development goals (SDG) i.e.
GOAL 3: Good Health and Well-being
GOAL 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure
GOAL 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities
