Abstract:
A living space assembly for rapid erection, comprising:a central substantially prism-like element; a pair of rigid outer elements having a top face, a bottom face, two side faces, and two end faces; the central prism-like element comprises a first face, a second face and a third face, all of which are parallel to a single axis, the first face forming a base, and the remaining two faces forming sides of the central prism-like element; in a first transportable state, the pair of rigid outer elements are disposed symmetrically one each to each side of the central prism-like element, the corresponding outer elements having apices coincident with the apex of the central element and being shaped and arranged such that in the first transportable state the elements nest together to form a cuboid structure shaped and dimensioned to occupy substantially all the space in a standard freight container; in a second erected state the apices of the outer elements are raised to form a roof ridge line, thereby completing the enclosure of the living space.
