An academic workshop was held using a user-focused bottom-up approach to learn lessons about the possibility of a transitory habitat using pre-disaster planning and shared spaces that allow, post-disaster, to meet individual and community needs. In this workshop, using analysis guided by the qualitative study of interviews with a representative sample of the affected population and an ideation stage guided by feedback and correction cycles, configurations are proposed for the case study of the commune of Tomé in the Bío-Bío Region, Chile, which was severely damaged by the forest fires that affected the country in February 2023. Qualitative planning of participatory and shared solutions was used, to face the quantitative imposition of technocratic and universal solutions.
