Cardboard Shelter

This objective for this project was to create an inhabitable shelter made out of cardboard and fasteners.  

The shelter is made out of four 4' x 8' sheets of standard cardboard.  Nuts and bolts fasten the pieces together.  By following a series of cuts and folds, this shelter is easily constructed and provides a small personal space for an individual person, or a place to play for small children.  It can be deconstructed and packed flat for travel.

Upon completion, the shelter was placed in a park along with others, creating small community of cardboard shelters, in which their creators spent the night.
