1 Hour Design Challenge

Core77 ran a 1-hour design competition looking for designers to spend literally one hour on an emergency shelter concept. I’m not sure if what I came up with is technically a ‘pop-up shelter’ as the competition asks for but it was fun to put this earthbag and pallet hybrid concept together in an hour.

Shelter 2.0

One of the most amazing designs I’ve seen recently for a prefab structure is Shelter 2.0. It was designed by Robert Bridges and Bill Young and is intended to be easily assembled from a small set of standardized prefabricated pieces. They’ve also released the designs under a creative commons license to make it easier for people to make use of this great new solution.
