Students...you may use this as a "template" but change the background to your own style.

Feel free to add extra slides.

You will need pictures of your Floor Plan and Section.

1. State the Problem

There are currently no explicit, coherent or comprehensive policies that address emergency shelter assistance in cold-climate humanitarian emergencies. Furthermore, there is little evidence that current available shelter systems and methods of implementation provide adequate environments for displaced people in such conditions.

Design Constraints

• Provide food, shelter for one week

• Water source (you can assume portable water bottles area available)

• Food source (you can assume food will be provided)

• Heat source (use an portable propane heater)

• Ventilation (show a ventilation pipe in your structure)

2.My ideas

Sweat lodges are built to trap heat. They also have doors that open and close easily to let heat out.
