In the spring 2010 semester, we have started to think about the earthquake in Haiti. With this issue in mind, the first project is about building a makeshift shelter focusing on sleeping. We will use found objects. Suzanne shared a quote, “Earthquakes don’t kill people, buildings kill people” in class, and it inspired me to think about the role of designers to help people who live on this planet. A designer is a person who is creating a beautiful thing such as a space or a product, but is also a person who needs to think about the contribution that his or her work contribute to the world. Since my group needs to focus on sleeping, we discussed how to create a structure which embraces a resident with found objects such as PVC pipes, plastics, sponges, tires, and fabrics. Therefore, our structure will focus on providing a space where an occupant can take a rest within the given space.
