What is the point of the makeshift shelter project:
I believe that the point of this project is to get us as designers out of our comfort zones. So many times when we think about design we think of people with money and broad variates of materials and so forth. In this situation we are forced to address a different social class and to create something from nothing. We only have a very limited amount of supplies and no budget. We are learning that design can be found any where and that its not always for just you and me but its global its for everybody. I also think that doing this project is great because it shows the rest of the world variety. When people are thinking about shelters they can take to disaster relief maybe this can challenge them to rethink and recycle and to make things from materials that are already available. So I believe that this project is beneficial for us as designers but also on the world as a whole.
