Our project was to create a modecular shleter that could easily be transported and built on site. The issues with a lot of the already created shelters is that they are used only for a short period of time and then are unable to be transported anywhere else. Also these shelters are hard to assemble and take a long time before they are applicable for use. Our group decided to focus our shelter on how it would be transported. We wanted our shelter to be easily transported and also easy to collect and leave site when it was no longer needed. Our idea was based of the accordian walls. We wanted all the pieces to fold easily and be compieled into a small part to be shipped easily. Our prototype is a plywood demo that exemplifies how one would assemble our shelter. It shows where all the bolts would be placed and where the walls go in to apply extra support. Our demo also helps visualize how our House In a Box can be folded into smaller pieces that are easy to transfer. Our protoype also shows that the roof would be larger pieces of plywood though they are build with the same concept as the rest of the house. We used plywood, bolts and nuts, gorrilla tape, a screw driver, a nail gun, and a screw driver.
