The Chalmers group reporting in
Our main issues have been the shelter standards and guidelines, which are very strictly worded and blocking our creativity and understanding of the reason behind the requirement. Another frustration has been that we still have not recieved material samples from the paper industry and a rescue tent, even though this was requested from day one.
Most of our time has been spent searching for inspiration and building small models. We’ve been gathering inspiration from such fields as biomimicry, ancient building tecniques, toys, origami, modular and movable houses, disaster documentaries, tents, innovative materials and existing solutions.
The next week will be spent evaluating the ideas we have and preparing for a presentation at the workshop in Hällefors the week after that. Stay tuned for that!
