Shelter/Bus

The goal with our shelter/bus was to maximize the ability to transport as much food as is achievable, to provide for as many people as possible. The image on the left shows a retaining wall in which will be stored sustainable goods. The picture on the right shows a shelving unit that will be used to to store tools, food, and other miscellaneous items that may be needed. In addition to the shelves, the seating arrangement is shown for the few volunteers needed to distribute the food and water. The second illustration shows the storage containers for the water that being stored underneath the bus. The water will be renewed by catching rain water through the roof as well as pipes that can pull water from a local water source. This water will be purified by using a ceramic filter, which will then store the water in the containers below.
