Disasters are a common occurrence in Indonesia. According to the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) in 2022, over 3,157 natural disasters have occurred, affecting more than 3 million people and damaging 759 facilities, particularly educational ones. To address this, the Ministry of Education and Culture (Kemendikbud), in collaboration with BNPB, launched the SPAB (Disaster Safe Education Unit) program to establish emergency schools for uninterrupted education. This project's innovative approach to prefabrication technology and foldable components enables the rapid and cost-effective construction of emergency schools, ensuring the continuity of education in disaster-prone areas of Indonesia. This project focuses on optimizing the use of Foldable Prefabricated Components with a Modular Panel System in constructing post-disaster schools, aiming for maximum effectiveness during emergency situations. The design approach encompasses three key aspects: short-term, easy, and temporary construction; foldable prefabricated components; and adaptable everywhere. The design concept emphasizes simplicity, affordability, universality, adaptability, foldability, effectiveness, easiness, and speed. The design involves assembling separate aluminum components on-site, including columns, beams, universal joints, walls, floor plates, folding roof structures, trusses, and cable structures. These components can be folded and packed into seven boxes, reducing their volume by 92% compared to their installed condition. The construction process involves nine stages per module and can be completed in one day with ten workers. The modular system is designed to accommodate various site conditions, including flat, contoured, and water locations. Simulated configuration variations such as linear, courtyard, compound, vertical, L-shape, and U-shape layouts were tested. A case study was conducted in response to the Cianjur Earthquake in November 2022, specifically in Jalan Guru, Gasol Village, Cugenang Sub-district, Cianjur Regency. On a 5,162 m2 area, a Post-Disaster Emergency School with a Courtyard Massing configuration consisting of nine three-story building masses with different roof variations was created.
