Deployable Emergency Shelter / by Nick Crylen

This was a quick 2 hour design challenge with myself. To barely meet the deadline for submittal to IDEA.

With all this pandemic talk, we approached a proposed design of a 100 sq ft deployable shelter. The Shelter is steel and fabric membrane. It features 2 tensile net beds as the main sleeping quarters, leaving the floor space open for living. Also features a hybrid rain water catchment system that encapsulates the micro wood stove down the central area of the quarantine hut. These could be manufactured relatively inexpensive and could help keep people sheltered in place during global pandemics.
