BHN Preliminary work– Elena Proctor



















Preliminary work

  • http://nationalhomeless.org/about-homelessness/
  • https://disasterphilanthropy.org/issue-insight/shelter/
  • https://journalistsresource.org/politics-and-government/refugees-around-the-globe-statistics-and-research-on-living-conditions-health-assistance-efforts/
  • https://www.unhcr.org/en-us/figures-at-a-glance.html
  • https://www.samhsa.gov/homelessness-programs-resources/hpr-resources/homeless-experiences-parents-have-lasting-impact

Design Considerations 

  • I'm thinking the shelter could be included inside of a giant multi-purpose backpack, with an inflatable, easily foldable shelter (with a chargeable pump) that can be placed inside of backpack. 
  • Two backpacks to lighten the load, meant for a small nomadic family. 
  • Many different pockets with removable velcro "drawers", some up to interpretation (clothes, toiletries) while others include things like fire starters and first aid kits. 
  • Solar for device charging along with universal plugs. 
  • Instructions with pictures on how to set up the inflatable shelter.
  • Inflatable shelter would probably be a dome, made of polyester material. Shelter would not cover the ground, only protection from the rain. Blankets made from plastic bags would be included. 
  • Cost could be a bit pricey but probably good in the longterm for survival. 

 

Avery's design sketch


  • For my shelter project, I want to create a transportable shelter, including a griddle and solar power, and space to sleep.

  • It is premade, but can be unraveled and opened by the user.


 

(UPDATED!) Finished Lamp Project– Elena Proctor





It is now finished! I enjoyed doing this project a lot! Here are some process pictures as well!
