Shelter Model | Inquiry

 This week, our company (Global Savers) brainstormed ideas for an emergency shelter design. 

We needed to think of a main shape to design the emergency shelter. We needed to find a main shape because it would be holding everything. We also needed to think about what our shelter will be designed to resist.

 My group used a design programme called SketchUp, that allows people to design and create anything they want in three dimensions. 

We chose to use a hexagon shape to make this model. Me and my group chose this shape because it seems like a very strong shape.

We made the walls thick so it could keep people inside of it safe.  We would make the shape tall so in case of an emergency we could fit quite a few people in there.
