People living in refugee camps have access to accommodation, but it is difficult to guarantee sanitation. This speedy collapsible bathroom is space-saving and can be transported easily; what’s more, people can set up a set of public bathrooms in a short period of time. Using geometric shapes to form a group of separate shower rooms, this design maximize and utilize space rationally. When the water pressure is insufficient, the small water pump can be driven by the foot pedal, and the water supply can be realized by the manual labor, which improves the sanitary conditions for the refugees.

现如今，世界上有一种比较特殊的人群-难民，他们有的受到战乱的影响，不得不离开自己的国家，去往别的国家并接受国际的援助。生活在难民营中的人可以获得住宿，但很难保证环境卫生。这种卫生的基本问题得不到保障，从而就会引发疾病传播、心里健康等一系类问题的产生。“Simple Folding Bathroom”就是为上述问题而设计的一个简易折叠浴室。这种快速可折叠浴室不仅能够节省空间，运输方便，而且可以帮助难民能够在短时间内建立一套公共浴室，从而提供一个简易的洗澡环境。“Simple Folding Bathroom”利用几何造型形成一组独立的淋浴房，使空间最大化，合理利用。当水压不足时，可以用脚踏板带动小水泵，人工供水，改善了难民的卫生条件。
