Eco Sound Resilience Hub

For this project, we worked as a group of three for the Make It Heal Challenge. This challenge tasked us with creating a design idea that can help people after suffering a natural disaster. Our idea was to design a hurricane resistant house with the addition of a greenhouse. We wanted diverse community hub dedicated to music studios and a greenhouse for plants that was Hurricane proof. It’s a hybrid of something all my partners wanted to focus on.We felt confident in our structure because of the inspiration we found online showing multiple examples of the sae sturdy industrial like base.

The tools My partners and I used for our building were a tinker cad and a Bambu labs 3D printer with PLA filament.

Tinker cad is 3d software web browser extinction. We had used the Tinker cad to design the environment and the house. The Bambu Labs were meant to 3d print out both designs

We also used cardboard, straws, wooden sticks, cardstock, acrylic paint, and hot glue for the physical model.

Green House

For creating the greenhouse, one partner, used the extrude sketch tool in Tinker cad. She created the basic shapes such as the support poles. She then simply put all the different shapes together, such as placing the triangles across from each other and connecting them together to create the roof lining using the extrude sketch tool in Tinker cad. We felt confident in our structure because of the inspiration we found online showing multiple examples of the sae sturdy industrial like base.

Base

For the pillars holding the house, my partner simply used the polygon shape and changed the heigh and color. She then duplicated them and arranged them in a way that would best support the house.

Final CAD Model

Step 5: Designing the main building and its shape for creating the house, Jaqueline used a mixture of the basic shapes and using the extrude sketch tool. For creating the basic shape of the house, she used the extrude sketch tool to create the shape, then added the thickness. Jaqueline then simply raised the height to however she deemed to look right.

Base 3D Design

For the pillars holding the house, my partner simply used the polygon shape and changed the heigh and color. She then duplicated them and arranged them in a way that would best support the house.

ROOF

the roof, she used the shapes provided. She used the pyramid shape and

adjusted the number of sides to 6. My Partner then flattened the shape which used it as the roof. I then duplicated it and added it to the top of the building.

Final Model

For creating the basic shape of the house, she used the extrude sketch tool to create the shape, then added the thickness. My partner simply raised the height to however she deemed to look right.

Conclusion

For the cad Models we felt confident and easy enough that we would be able to finish this in no time.

Making the ocean: What we had done was grab a piece of cardboard and glue multiple sheets of paper. After wards we had painted the paper multiple shades of blue for each part of the ocean.

Designing the sand

For our sand me and my partner found a bag of this wheat like material with a very accurate color of a sand like tone. The problem was that it was very stringy and we had a hard time gluing the material on the cardboard.

Palm Trees

For the palm trees my partner made a white clay foundation between the sand and ocean and made holes in the clay while the clay was hardening, I made the palm trees with rolled up brow paper and cut little bits of green paper and hot glued them to the roll of paper I did this a total of three times. Afterwards our setting was done.

Making the greenhouse: For the actual model of the greenhouse, it was very challenging because it had gone through multiple variations and was no longer attached to the main house. We were going to make the greenhouse out of popsicle sticks, but it was hard to create a sturdy foundation. Furthermore, gluing the popsicle sticks made them very unbalanced and uneven. After the popsicle sticks didn't work out, we made a hybrid of green pipe cleaners and popsicle sticks. That also didn’t work so we went back to the drawing bord and remade the green house as its own separate entity on Tinker cad.

painting the houses: For the main house we were looking for a brick like looking material, which meant that My partner had painted the Main house silver and a mix of red and brown. After The greenhouse was printed, we immediately got to work and painted it green with cutting a plastic bag and covering the open space

Making the stairs for the main house: The stairs were built using small wooden sticks and hot glue. A flat surface was created by gluing the smalls sticks together in the shape of a rectangle. Some wooden sticks were then broken into little pieces to create the step. Hot glue was placed on top of the rectangular base to create the outline of the stairs and then some sticks were glued to the side. The steps were then glued on top of the dried hot glue..

With our project being done we had felt proud and confident knowing that we did an amazing job with what we could use around the classroom. We also felt a sense of pride knowing that it was accurate to what we had in mind as well as knowing it would be hurricane proof. Furthermore, we felt a great lift off of our shoulders knowing that we did a good job.
