LAYER 02 — LIVING BUILT

SHELTER.

The second commercial implementation of SOS - Survivability OS. Ultra Light construction methodology for minimum-footprint structures in off-grid and post-disaster sites. In development.

STATUS

Where SHELTER is right now.

SHELTER is currently in protocol development, not in product release. The doctrine is set; the field evidence is being collected. Per OS rule, it does not become a product before the Log and the Protocol are both stable.

Stage Protocol drafting + early prototype evaluation
Field Lab Shared with POROMAT field sites — same crew, same soil, same water context
Material Direction Local timber, bamboo, salvaged sheet, engineered fabric — Ultra Light bias
Crew Scale Hand-scale install: 2–6 people, no heavy equipment baseline
Release Window Determined by field evidence, not roadmap.
DOCTRINE

SHELTER inherits from the OS.

SHELTER does not invent a new framework. It runs on the same three rules that govern POROMAT.

01

Minimum Structure.

The smallest enclosure that still keeps a person alive, working, and dry. No additional surface area beyond function.

02

Local Materials.

Timber, bamboo, soil-based wall systems, salvaged sheet — sourced as close to the site as the soil itself.

03

Hand-scale Implementation.

Buildable by a small crew over days, not weeks. No specialized lift, no factory-only joints.

EVIDENCE

SHELTER Field Logs.

SHELTER-specific logs will be published in LAB as the protocol develops. Until then, this page records the status of the Living Built layer inside SOS.
