  • Design Village 2010


    The Design Village 2010 competition took place during the thr­­­ee days between April 16th and April 18th.  Over forty teams participated in this year’s event with a maximum of 6 students per team.  They were required to carry all construction materials a mile into the canyon and there assemble the shelters in a timeframe of a few hours.  Teams were required to sleep in their shelters Friday and Saturday nights of the event.

    Landfill Luxury was the theme for this year’s competition.  The inspiration for it came from the makeshift shelters that were built in Central Park during the great depression.  As people became displaced from their homes because of their inability to pay rent, they began constructing shelters of whatever materials they could find.  Teams who participated in this year’s design village competition were encouraged to use no less than 80% reused materials in the construction of their shelters.

    The following pictures represent nine of the shelters.  The teams are labeled according to the numbers assigned to them.
