DISASTER SHELTER DESIGN


DISASTER SHELTER DESIGN

Disaster shelter design will be used at Chicago, Navy Pier. In the past Chicago experienced several natural disasters such as snow storm, fire, and wind storms. To begin with the project, I started with accessory design with can be used during any disaster. After that I design seating for people and finally come to a shelter design for a person. One shelter can expand for group and family shelters when it is expanded and combined together.


NATURAL DISASTER ISSUES Chicago Natural Disasters

There are many disaster, fire, flood, wind storm, and snow storm. When there are disaster people need some protection to avoid from danger. Now I designed accessory that is need during any happenings.

ACCESSORY DESIGN

Fashionable and functional accessory design for disasters. This collar can wear with any type of cloth. It is easy to pull out and put in the scarf inside the collar. The fabric consist with filter for breathing. The accessory was based on Chicago’s disasters. Their major disasters are fire and heat wave. The scarf with filter attached will help people from those moments.

Final design is a combination of collar and mask ideas. The final design include filter inside the scarf with strips of fabrics which hide the filter for dirt. The strips can adjustable by the user’s size.

SEATING DESIGN

The idea of seating design derived from a belt. A belt is very common fashion accessory that can wear everyday. Use of different materials will create a design that is functional and fashionable at the same time.

SHELTER DESIGN

Pull and Stretch shelter design

Pulling

Stretching

The main concept of the shelter derived from previous projects which are accessory and seating design. The pulling movement on scarf and stretching actions on the seating fabric developed into the final shelter structure.

Seating

Sleeping

Seating accessory can attached to the shelter structure to have sitting and sleeping functions. When the structural frame is folded it can be used as sitting, when it is stretched out it can be used as sleeping.


SPACE EXPANSION

As people stretch and pull the structures, the space that create inside will become larger.

MATERIALS

Materials used to construct a shelter

Translucent Fabric

Aluminium Kee Klamp

Canvas Strips

White Opaque Fabric

A material for a shelter, I decided to use light and structured materials to give firm and easily construable. The materials are translucent fabric so that when people are inside, they can see through silhouette. I also used canvas strip which is stronger than cotton fabrics. It has tight and firm fabrics. For the fan structure, I decided to choose white opaque fabric since it is soft and durable to create space.


INSTRUCTIONS

Ingredients and how to construct the shelter by oneself.

A stretchable and fashionable seating design can attached onto the shelter structure for seating inside the shelter. It can be sleeping spot for people who don’t want to sleep on the floor. By adding the element it gives more comforts. When two shelters are placed side by side, it will have more space for couple. Either side of the fan is still packed inside.
