POD Hingepoints
Roof Locking Mechanism
We focused on a lightweight personal shelter to protect from weather. The Pod is able to be a standalone structure as well as a modular unit within a community of pods. The stackability of the units can provide a sense of community for the victims as well as provide thermal comfort when connected. There is a 9 step process to setting up a pod. It intuitively folds out from within itself and the roof snaps into the top. Joints clip into each other and then may be released with pressure. This is an important feature because in disaster zones tools are not readily available and the simpler a system can be more effective it is.
