1HDC 10.02 - Emergency Shelter - Discussion Forum

@RWM, Nice entry. I like how it is kind of like a convertible car top. Simple to pop up. Nice.

Dear Sir
I am industrial designer based in England.
I have not used this site before and can’t figure out if this is the right way to upload entries for the Emergency shelter competiton.
If it is here is its description.
This project was done in just under an hour and is a fabric dual layered air dropped design to keep the insides cool and allow air movement.
Kind regards
Joseph

Thanks Yo! Had fun, I might try my hand at another before the 28th.

Atohms, I dig that concept. Very fun. Reminds me of the backyard tubes I used to crawl through when I was kid.

Athoms: Definitely like the idea of it popping out of a box! Like the emergency slide on an airplane.

Thx .)

@MichaelKilbane Nice! Props on the paper model!

Thanks Michael, it turned out better than expected. :wink:

I love it when that happens!

to MichaelKilbane: Definitely one of my favorites :wink: Well done! Simple, feasible yet genius :wink:

Thanks Atohms for the positive feed back. :slight_smile:

Cool! Love seeing when the small core community gets press elsewhere. Great job by all!

Why do I have to be the Belgian designer with the unusual ideas? :smiley:

I think they meant it as a compliment … :wink:

@ jlgrobe and harper432, great boards.

I see that someone else got inspired by the HESCO-system :wink: Cool!

to Yo, I was referring to the fact that the article refers to all the other designers with their respective names, but I am the Belgian designer :wink: And most of the time if Belgium is in the news it’s not good :wink: Kinda funny

Great entries :wink: Impressive overall quality

Many grtz

I know, I was just teasing… bummer, they must not have seen your full name…

I stumbled across these three websites if anyone is looking for some cool ideas:
