Waht is the point of this(makeshift shelter) project?

Unfortunately, it is not possible to know what would be happened in our daily life since earthquake hit Haiti and people lost lots of human lives. Along with, to build or create a shelter with limited given materials are necessary process for a designer because as I have been through, I was only allowed to use sustainable materials to design kitchen. Moreover, as we build structure, we can learn that how structure works together. As building a makeshift shelter, we can experience difficulties with given limited materials.
As a designer, there is a more than one thing that I can contribute to the world.
