1 Hour Design Challenge: More emergency shelters!

The entries are continuing to roll in for our current 1 Hour Design Challenge: Emergency Shelters. We're still a good 20 days away from the February 28th deadline, so you've still got some time to enter your own. Core77 will donate $500 to Architecture for Humanity's Haiti Earthquake Support Program in the name of the winner.

We've picked a couple more highlights to share with you below.

From Atohms: "I did another one...Got inspired by the HESCO-system I posted earlier and the other container ideas I saw in this tread. Basic Idea: A big coiled wrapped in fabric (similar to the collapsible bins you find everywhere for putting your laundry in) So The coil is compressed in a container (regular shipping?) And the tube (shelter) will pop out as soon as the doors open. Like a devil in a box."

From steveboynton: "Credit is given to the American Indians TEEPEE design for it's durability, portability, and responsible use of natural resources. In this concept the material (tarp, canvas, gore tex...) would be provided to skin the frame. The units cold be set up alone or combined to form multi-room living spaces."

Look over the rules and guidelines here, and remember: simple and clear!
