Design-Build studio // Transitional Housing // 2010
 structures team with Zack Carter 
In collaboration with the Building Goodness Foundation, a team of students worked to design and build a prototype for a temporary-housing solution for the people of Haiti after the earthquake. The project sought to improve and eliminate the Fema trailers used in the wake of Katrina as an option for temporary housing (1-5 years occupation). The project was comprised of a panelized system to ease construction time and labor in remote places in Haiti, or elsewhere, and would hold a small family providing the necessary amenities even while off the grid.
