Home2o Roof System |

Disaster Relief Shelter

The Home2o Roof System allows post-consumer plastic bottles to become shelter using minimal tools and labor in disaster-relief scenarios. This patent-pending system arrays and interlocks layers of bottles to create a breathable, weather-resistant membrane. This Fall, multidisciplinary student teams will design and build 1:1 prototype shelters that will be subject to rigorous testing.
