In this thesis, I examine the politics, poetics, and logics of uneventful human harm in the United States by tracking the life and afterlife of a chemically contaminated emergency housing unit. In 2005, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) deployed 120,000 trailers to the US Gulf Coast to house those displaced by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Chemical testing, spurred by reports of inhabitant illness, revealed elevated levels of formaldehyde emanating from the plywood walls of the trailers. After being reclaimed by the federal government and beginning in 2010, the FEMA trailers were resold at auction to every corner of the country. Resold trailers gravitated to precarious populations at the poles of rural capital accumulation—from oil patches in North Dakota to reservations in Washington. These trailers serve as an exceptional substrate for an investigation into the anatomy of the uneventful as they once approached the apex of eventfulness as a national controversy and now reside in the shadows of the everyday. This thesis apprehends and theorizes these dispersed and ordinary instruments of domestic harm across multiple registers: epistemological, material, spatial, and affective. I examine how failures of matter and meaning shaped and patterned the lives of those who inhabited the FEMA trailers as their lives became framed by chemical off-gassing, architectural insufficiency, material deterioration, and electrical short-circuiting. Crossing scales and venues, I interrogate the modalities of scientific incomprehension that erode the perception, admittance, or substantiation of mass chemical exposure. These technical processes, along with cultural horizons of eventfulness and the chronicity of disaster, foreclosed avenues of toxic harm accountability. These ‘economies of abandonment’ bring into relief the contemporary biopolitical priorities in which the FEMA trailer—an ostensible protection from harm that fosters illness—becomes possible. FEMA trailer residents attend to the minute, gradual, and ongoing symptoms of exposure to discern the reality and magnitude of residential contamination. The body of the exposed becomes both an epistemic instrument and, across time, the means of making low-level, chronic, and cruddy chemical exposures into eventful instances that drive individuals to action.

The aim of this diploma thesis is to create design of home for humanitarian purposes. The dwelling is designed for people who find themselves in emergency situation in which they lose their home. This situation mainly occurs after varies disasters, which are natural or caused by human fault. The dwelling is intended for temporary living for several months in conditions of temperate zone. The most important part of design is the dispositional solution. The layout of rooms and interior equipment create fully functional space. The shape of house is inspired by the pinwheel that is applied mainly on the roof. The rest of the complex is mainly geometrically shaped. It allowed producing particular pieces of building simply with lower financial charges. There is an effort to touch on inhabitants by pleasant and comfortable expression. This is the reason why the yellow color dominate in interior and orange color is ascendant in exterior. There is a possibility to built various number of rooms. This dwelling is demountable, easily transportable and prepared to be built again.

Syftet med examensarbetet är att ta fram ett förslag som är flexibelt, hållbart och kananvändas vid produktion av akutbostäder för hemlösa i Sverige. I vidare studier beaktasmaterial och ytteffektivitet av akutbostäder för strukturellt hemlösa i samhället.Resultatet visar på att en flexibel bostad med smarta servicelösningar kan användas tillmer än bara en akutbostad för hemlösa. Den kan även användas som hyresbostad,seniorboende eller annan typ av boende som behövs för tillfället. Genom intervjuer medfastighetsägare och myndighetspersoner har en kravlista sammanställts baserat på derasarbetserfarenheter.  Examensarbetet ger enbart ett förslag som kan användas som underlag vid uppförandet avakutbostäder eftersom inga egna beräkningar har behandlats. För att få ett tillförlitligtresultat bör arkitekter och andra involverade konsulter inom byggbranschen intervjuas. / The purpose of this project is to develop a flexible and sustainable proposal forproduction of emergency housing for homeless people in Sweden. This study will alsosuggest what should be considered in terms of materials and solutions in flexible,emergency housing for structurally homeless in society.The result shows that a flexible housing can be used for more than just emergencyhousing for the homeless. It could also be used as rental housing, senior housing or otherhousing needed. Through interviews with property owners and government officials, a listof requirements has been compiled based on their work experience.The thesis can be used as a foundation for further investigation in construction of emergency housing. Architects and other consultants involved in the building industryshould be interviewed to obtain a reliable result.
