<\/b>Nicol\u00e1s Garc\u00eda Mayor pas\u00f3 en pocos a\u00f1os de vivir en un precario ambiente convertirse en el creador de un emprendimiento \u00fanico en ayuda humanitaria que lo llev\u00f3 a ser electo uno de los 10 j\u00f3venes sobresalientes del mundo. Un e-mail dej\u00f3 atr\u00e1s muchos a\u00f1os de frustrante espera. El emisor era nada menos que la Organizaci\u00f3n de Naciones Unidas. Lo convocaban a exponer ante los presidentes de casi todo el mundo su invento y su sue\u00f1o: Cmax.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Nicol\u00e1s Garc\u00eda Mayor lived in the ruins of an abandoned clinic, but he is now the creator of a unique venture in humanitarian aid that led him to be voted one of ten outstanding young people in the world by a prominent international youth organization.<\/p>\n

Mayor knows about poverty and the effects of natural disasters. He grew up with his mother and brothers, working from a very young age. He is from the city of Bah\u00eda Blanca, in the south of the province of Buenos Aires. While studying industrial design at the University of La Plata, he lived for two years in the radiology lab of an abandoned clinic because he had no money to pay rent. In addition to his personal experience with poverty, he and his fellow Argentines have suffered several natural disasters: earthquakes, landslides, floods, forest fires and the consequences of volcanic eruptions.<\/p>\n

To complete his degree in 2001, Mayor\u2019s thesis was based on an emergency shelter to implement in disaster situations. The shelter is modular, transportable, and can be assembled on any surface without tools. Each module can provide shelter and food for ten people.\u00a0 Now, more than a decade later, he is making his thesis a reality and was recently invited to present his shelter, called CMAX, to the Assembly of the United Nations.<\/p>\n

CMAX<\/b><\/p>\n

CMAX is a box structure made with polypropylene, aluminum, and polyester with drop-down side wings that allow it to quadruple in size, creating enough space \u2013 about 14 square meters (150 square feet) \u2013 for as many as ten people can live. The interior has telescopic legs that separate the floor from the ground, reducing the passage of cold and dampness. The modules are assembled in just eleven minutes and can be modified to create hospitals or schools in addition to living spaces. They can include an additional three bathrooms placed between three modules and a survival kit with food, blankets, water, pencils, and notebooks.<\/p>\n
