Five points of cyclonic architecturepilotis against flooding
In order to protect the cyclone shelter from storm surges, the building has been raised 6 meters into the air by using pilotis made of concrete.
1roof terrace for extra capacaty
Since the cyclone shelters are often crowded during the disaster, the roof terrace can allow for extra capacity.
2concrete walls for protection
To make sure that all people using the cyclone shelter are safe and sound, the walls have to be strong enough to withstand the strong gusts of wind.
3free floor plan
The floorplan should be free enough, so that the shelter’s program can change all around the year. It can then be used as school or office for instance.
4windows with metal shutters
During a cyclone, the open windows should be protected from outside winds. Metal shutters make sure that everyone inside is safe and sound.
