The Uber Shelter is exactly what the name says. Its a great idea by Designer : Rafael Smith. Looking at the pictures it looks way more useful than any tent and can even change the camping industry if there is such a thing.

The Uber Shelter is made of reusable and recyclable materials.

The designer quotes:

My goal is to create more than an emergency shelter. This project is a shelter solution that meets the needs of emergency response but also provides victims with a more personal place to live; a base unit that can serve as a very basic shelter but also have the capabilities to upgrade and implement modern infrastructure. This shelter is also stackable. Many alternative housing solutions deal with small scale but can’t cope with large scale displaced populations. There are 5 points that have been the focus during the design of this shelter. The shelter must be:

1) Easily transportable, collapsible and able to be shipped flat.

2) Built of recyclable materials and have the ability to be reused.

3) Easy to erect and assembled with few or no tools.

4) Amenable to infrastructure?can be used as a basic structure, but have the capabilities to upgrade and implement modern conveniences.

5) Stackable

This could even be used to replace shacks here in South Africa and be housing for the poor since its way cheaper than normal houses. Also being sort of double storey it gives more space.
