CREVICE
A WELL-TEMPERED ENVIRONMENT
The objective of this project was to design a low cost temporary shelter which would provide at least a fifteen degree temperature differential out in the freezing cold. My team and I chose a location which already had an existing heat source, a vent. The goal was to create a waiting area for a food truck. Due to the narrow space, the second objective was to evenly distrubute the heat along the space and prevent the heat from escaping the crevice. Multiple design iterations were created to find the most efficient, intuitive, and low cost solution. The final design consisted of a large airbag that encloses the crack from the above, and heat being distributed from the ground.
