This project entailed creating a solution for an inexpensive, easily distributed, lightweight disaster shelter that could be deployed in remote and developing regions of the world for use in large quantities following massive disaster events. Our focus was on designing a shelter that could be distributed to as many people as possible, as quickly as possible.  This meant maximized efficiency of packing, minimized cost, and instant usability - three goals we successfully achieved with our design. Rapid prototyping was the key to our success in this project, as it allowed us to quickly test our theories and iterate toward toward a more effective solution.
