We've just launched our newest 1 Hour Design Challenge, this time in response to the earthquake relief efforts in Haiti. You've got the usual 60-minutes to design an innovative emergency shelter—Core77 will donate $500 in the winner's name to Architecture for Humanity's Haiti Earthquake Support Program. More details follow:
THEME: 1 Hour Design Challenge: Emergency Shelters
DOORS OPEN: January 27, 2010 9 PM PST (4PM GMT)
DOORS CLOSE: February 28, 2010 9 PM PST (4PM GMT)
BRIEF: Pop-up shelters have been a favorite exploration of designers for a long time, and in light of the earthquake in Haiti and the necessity of creating short-term emergency shelters, this 1 Hour Design Challenge invites designers to create innovative and appropriate pop-up shelter solutions. Your designs may be specific to Haiti or generalized to address emergency shelter needs across various contexts. We're looking for simple, effective and appropriate design interventions.
HOW TO ENTER: Upload your images to the discussion board and provide a short text description. (3-sentence MAXIMUM.) You can use sketches, renderings, storyboards, cartoons, stick figures, or diagrams to explain your design.
TIME LIMIT: In the spirit of all 1 Hour Design Challenges, the work you post must be original for this competition and be completed in 1 hour maximum.
CRITERIA: Judging will be based on inventiveness, utility and appropriateness.
PRIZE: Core77 will donate $500 to Architecture For Humanity's Haiti Earthquake Support Program in the name of the winner."
