Demonstrate an ability to apply structurally specific considerations related to rapid deployment, re-use, material optimization, and sturdy performance in the creation of an emergency relief shelter using shipping containers and shipping palletes as the main materials. The design is composed for events of flooding in the lower Mississippi River Valley and the St. Louis area. This temporary structure creates a prefabricated unit which collects and purifies water, provides sanitation and waste treatment, and generates renewable power while establishing a functional sleeping shelter and living space for four adults.

Two bunk beds have been placed in the main room adjacent to the north facade made of folding glass doors; outside is a porch acting as an entry and also a place for others in the community to visit and socialize. The bath and kitchenette are located in the rear where the water is supplied through rain water runoff; adjacent to the kitchenette is a closet for any possessions saved from the flooding.
