Abstract :In the 21st century, earthquakes occurring in regions with high seismic risk result not only in physical destruction but also in prolonged crises at social, economic, and psychological levels. Post-disaster temporary shelter solutions often evolve into permanent uncertainties, giving rise to issues such as social exclusion, disconnection from productive life, and spatial injustice. This study is grounded in the notion that temporary living environments must be not only rapidly deployable but also adaptable, sustainable, and socially restorative. In the design approach, the nature-inspired organizational logic of Voronoi diagrams is reinterpreted beyond conventional horizontal sprawl and transformed into a modular vertical structural system. Each module is tailored to specific functions—such as housing, healthcare, education, and production—and designed as an independent unit with its own structural and technical infrastructure. By proliferating vertically, these modules allow for spatial flexibility and evolutionary development over time Developed through generative artificial intelligence-supported design processes, the proposed system is not merely a structure, but a dynamic living organism capable of reorganizing itself in response to environmental and societal needs. The project presents an innovative model for post-disaster reconstruction by addressing spatial, technological, and social dimensions in an integrated manner, thereby contributing a novel perspective to the field of disaster architecture.
