Tuesday, April 5, 2011. From package to home! The shelters are up and being lived in by two incredible families. Our goal with this pilot is to work with the families living in the shelters to understand from their perspective how to improve the product. For more information about the design visit our site. And to see feedback and observations from the field click here. Below are a series of photos showing the TShel2 assembly.

Which consists of modules made through a specific system of recycled bottles that can be used as flexible building blocks to grow and become a larger shelter. These modules are designed to encourage plant growth and are fed by tubes that collect water and feed the individual units. My intention is for the design to shelter people from the weather, while also becoming a habitat that attracts insect, birds, and other forms of life.
