Abstract

This study proposes a modular prototype for temporary post-disaster housing using a hybrid system of bamboo, galvalume, and light steel framing (LSF), aiming to address urgent shelter needs after the 2021 Mount Semeru eruption. The design emphasizes structural efficiency, rapid construction, and environmental sustainability through the integration of renewable local materials and industrial components. Bamboo is selected for its availability, low carbon footprint, and community-based application, while galvalume and LSF are incorporated to enhance durability, prefabrication efficiency, and moisture resistance. This research adopts a Design-Based Research (DBR) methodology, which involves iterative design exploration, contextual material mapping, and prototype visualization to develop a realistic and adaptable housing solution. The prototype utilizes five modular wall panels, each tailored to specific spatial and environmental functions, allowing for flexible assembly and disassembly. This system supports low-waste construction and circular use of materials, aligning with sustainable development goals. A contextual design strategy underpins the spatial layout, enabling a transition from temporary to permanent housing.
