Container Charrette

In our suit group, the Jacks, we came up with a list of ten needs that arise in the event of a hurricane. 
  • Food
  • Water
  • First Aid/Medical
  • Shelter
  • Communication
  • Hygiene
  • Pet Accommodations
  • Salvage Equipment
  • Counseling
  • Clothing/Good Will
We decided that we wanted to design a bus that addresses the needs of communication and counseling.

Double-Decker
I thought the form of a double-decker bus would be appropriate for a counseling center.


Closed
In the bus there should be sectioned off areas where a counselor could talk to a victim privately. In order to make the most of the area on the bus, I thought about using pop-out sides that campers typically have. The individual rooms could slide out which would then make room in the main part for a seating room or group therapy area.
