We are considering entering this contest with a SketchUp drawing of a bamboo shelter for use after earthquakes or other disasters. The idea is to make it really simple to make and set up. Any ideas would be appreciated.
We may be able to create a proof of concept outside our office in NE India. We can test it for function as well as ease of set up.
Right now we are thinking of 33 pieces of bamboo with each piece 3 meters in length.
Here is the first paragraph of the article on Huffingtonpost where we leared about this contest.
In honor of Frank Lloyd Wrights' birthday (June 8) Google SketchUp partnered with The Guggenheim Museum to launch a competition to design a simple shelter. By using Google SketchUp and Google Earth you can choose any site and create any basic dwelling (without water, gas or electricity). While it is a great creative initiative, it could go one step further by challenging participants to design with purpose.
