In the first term, we started by making replicas of our rooms in several classrooms. I really enjoyed this project because the rooms were very realistic, and I love the world of design.

The second assignment of the first term was to design a shelter method for wars, tsunamis, earthquakes, etc. I did it with my partner Samuel, and we built a shelter for a tsunami.

3D design makes it possible to represent objects and spaces using three dimensions: height, width and depth. Thanks to this technique, it is possible to visualize a house or a room in a more realistic way.

To design a house, a floor plan is created first. This plan shows the distribution of the rooms from a top view. Then, the plan is transformed into a 3D model by adding walls, doors, windows and furniture.

In our project, we designed our room in 3D. We started with a floor plan of the room and then created the 3D model while respecting the real measurements and layout. This allowed us to visualize the space better and understand how its different elements are organized.

Structures are made up of different elements joined together to support loads and keep their shape without breaking. They provide strength and stability to buildings, bridges, vehicles and many other constructions.

Structures must resist different forces such as compression, tension, bending, torsion and shear.

In our project, we designed a tsunami shelter with a submarine-like shape. This cylindrical shape helps distribute the pressure of the water and makes the structure stronger. The shelter is also waterproof and resistant to impacts, helping to protect people during an emergency.
