This week, all of the companies that were formed last week brainstormed ideas for an emergency shelter design. We needed to come up with ideas for the structural shape and design of the emergency shelter. The companies also needed to include brief ideas about what their shelters will be designed to resist. Each shelter should be designed to resist a kind of natural disaster.
All of the groups drew a rough sketch of the front and side view of their emergency shelter so they would have a decent idea of what to create. Then, the teachers introduced the groups to a website called SketchUp which is a design programme that allows you to create anything in three dimensions.
The groups recreated the their shelter designs using the website and had the opportunity to change the size of the emergency shelter and add windows and doors using the design programme.
All of the companies enjoyed brainstorming ideas for an emergency shelter and recreating the shelter using a design programme.
