A QUARANTINE UNIT

“someone who is quarantined is different from someone who is isolated. Quarantined people aren’t sick; they’re people who may get sick. They’re people who have been exposed to a disease but who are not physically ill.”
- Dr. Georges Benjamin, Executive Director of the American Public Health Association

Choose one of the disaster scenarios described below and design a prototype quarantine unit for one person to be located at the Erato Street Cruise Terminal. Analyze the spatial relationships between the components for survival [PROJECT 1b] and the effects of infection [PROJECT 1a] and strategically design a unit that accommodates or restructures the discovered information.


PREVENTIVE SCENERIO:
You have just returned from a cruise vacation in the Caribbean and upon docking at the Port of New Orleans you have been informed that you are a suspected transmitter. In your travels you have been exposed to [INSERT DISASTER AGENT HERE] and now could be a potential carrier. You must be quarantined – 40 days of isolation and monitoring.


PROTECTIVE SCENERIO:
You have just returned from a cruise vacation in the Caribbean and upon docking at the Port of New Orleans you have been informed that the City of New Orleans has been struck by [INSERT DISASTER AGENT HERE]. In order to protect yourself from the outbreak you must be quarantined – 40 days of isolation and monitoring.
