Introduction

Best piece of creative work 

This is an emergency shelter to provide temporary accommodation for families and individuals that have been displaced by natural disasters in Australia. The shelter would be delivered on the back of a truck with a crane so that it can be lowered into place. Solar panels and a water tank have been added to the shelter in order to make it as off the grid as possible. This shelter was inspired by tiny houses and micro-living. This shelter consists of a fully functional kitchen, a bathroom, a loft sleeping area for two children as well as bed that is sunk into the floor and hidden under a panel. Once the occupants have rebuilt their home and no longer need the shelter, it can easily be disassembled and re-loaded onto a truck and either stored in a warehouse or transported to a new location to provide temporary accommodation for another family in need.

Image of a great piece of architecture

The Aqua Tower is situated in Chicago and was designed by Studio Gang Architects. The interesting feature of this building is the sculptural element that has been incorporated into the façade of the building. Each of the balconies are different sizes and shapes making it look very organic. The different orientations of the balconies are directly aligned to different landmarks of the city so that each of the apartments have a different focal point from their apartment. The most interesting part of this building is the white concrete balconies contrasted to the glass windows when driving or walking past the building it gives the impression of water flowing down the building.

An original photograph of something beautiful

This building is located on an island off Mexico called Cozumel. This photograph encapsulates one of my favourite elements of Cozumel which is the bright coloured buildings. When walking through the main part of this island every building is another bright colour such as pink, yellow or green and is contrasted with a white outline around the windows and balconies. This makes the island feel relaxed and the bright coloured building brings a sense of happiness to the people walking past the buildings.
