DAY 4: Experimenting with prototypes
Posted 13 May 2014 10:25
Group 07 { Disaster Relief Architecture }
Design and build a temporary structure // Model making
Atelier: qed, MSAp
Finished! temporary emergency shelter ready to be tested out tomorrow.
Posted 12 May 2014 19:33
Students measured and cut out the cardboard to form a prototype. Each component is in the same size for quick assembling.
Posted 12 May 2014 18:29
DAY 4 // We had to cut out 20 panels for our design and the joined these panels together using bulldog clips and staples.
Posted 12 May 2014 15:48
DAY 4 // we began building our 1:1 shelter designs. The design can fold out easily and then expand to create the shelter.
Posted 12 May 2014 15:47
Testing out the modules and figuring out how things work when it is at 1:1 scale
Posted 12 May 2014 11:57
After 2 days of design, its time to build it to scale and test out the model
Posted 12 May 2014 11:56
Day 3: In our groups, we developed our shelter design, and made a prototype out of corrugated cardboard to present to the whole group.
Posted 8 May 2014 23:58
Day 2: Discussions and test models to see how we could transform simple origami patterns into potential shelters.
Posted 8 May 2014 23:32
Day 1: Introductory presentation into Disaster Relief Emergency Architecture, followed by an afternoon of origami experimentation.
Posted 8 May 2014 23:01
Day 1: We are using different origami techniques which we should further develop and import in our own designs
Posted 8 May 2014 12:11
Day 3: Best way to figure out if an emergency shelter is "self-assembled" is to try it out with a volunteer!
Posted 8 May 2014 07:29
Using sketch up to create a 3d version of the design for the disaster temporary shelter!
Posted 7 May 2014 20:49
DAY 3 // In our groups we worked on developing our shelter designs. In my group we developed our shelter idea further so it would fold as small as possible for easy transportation.
Posted 7 May 2014 16:41
Images showing how the cardboard model folded so that it would be flat.
Posted 7 May 2014 16:19
DAY 2 // We took the origami that we had previously worked with in our last session and experimented how we could turn the designs into shelters.
Posted 7 May 2014 15:32
DAY 1 // experimenting with different folding methods using plain white paper. These are all the outcomes that together we produced.
Posted 7 May 2014 15:27
Day 2: Discussing different origami emergency shelter alternatives with Fari

Posted 7 May 2014 11:16
Second day, students were formed in groups to develop their own lightweight shelter.
Posted 6 May 2014 16:44
Day 2 Discussion on disaster relief shelter models and suggestions for improvement and development
