Swiss Army modular shelter systems (KAB, 1950s) 🔍

Military engineer and logistics planner (1945 - 1960)

Swiss military engineers developed standardized, stackable aluminum shelter components that could be reconfigured into barracks, field hospitals, or command posts using identical connecting nodes. These systems prioritized interchangeability, flat-pack storage, and rapid assembly by non-specialists.

Hans Gugelot
Industrial Designer
The military logic of identical, stackable modules with standardized connectors directly prefigured Gugelot's M125 modular shelving system and his 'Baukasten' philosophy for the Ulm School.
