Sustainable Shelter Design Dale Sadewasser and Dayna Beaudrie Shinming Shyu, faculty mentor
Disasters occur around the world frequently and displace people from their homes and their way of living. The sustainable shelter provides temporary relief for those suffering from such disasters. The sustainable shelter utilizes reclaimed materials (such as wood, metal and other reusable materials) along with energy-generating, and energy-saving technologies. The design provides an accessible, self-sufficient, and portable living space. Design Expo exhibit /// Room 300 /// 9 a.m.-4 p.m.
Treehouse at Lane Hall Catherine Marie Sperling and Brittany Nicole Nugent Shinming Shyu, faculty mentor
Inspired by Lane Hall, a historical building located in downtown Ann Arbor, this project presents renovations that turn this building into a multipurpose center. It is designed to bring in young consumers from around campus by using the essence of local community, high-end technology, and organic elements. In essence, the design project integrates creativity and technology with the dynamic urban fabric. Design Expo exhibit /// Room 300 /// 9 a.m.-4 p.m.
Sustainable Shelter Design Josette Leanne Stiltner and Alyssa Rose Eisenhauer Shinming Shyu, faculty mentor
This sustainable shelter was designed to provide a safe and comfortable living environment for people affected by any natural disaster and in need of a place to live. This one bedroom home, along with deck, ramp, solar panels, and green roof, is designed to fit in a standard shipping dimension meeting U.S. highway transportation requirements and is easily transported by semi-truck. With energy efficient appliances and ADA codes in mind, this shelter was designed to combine sustainable materials with a comfortable atmosphere. It provides a temporary home that is healthy for the users as well as the environment. Design Expo exhibit /// Room 300 /// 9 a.m.-4 p.m.
Sustainable Shelter Design Amber Unema
Shinming Shyu, faculty mentor This sustainable shelter design uses as many natural resources possible, along with many products and appliances supporting green design. The layout of the shelter is an open concept, with the exception of the bedroom. The roof is designed to hold a small terrace garden, along with skylights, and solar panels to support the energy needs of the shelter. One side of the roof is pitched so it can withstand weather conditions. A tankless water heater, energy efficient appliances, low GPF toilets, cross ventilation windows, and low VOC paint are all applied to the design of the sustainable shelter.
