Thesis (S.B.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, 2006. Includes bibliographical references (p. 22). In the wake of the recent tsunami that swept across Asia, there is a dire need to salvage and rebuild the lives and livelihoods that were swept away. The aim of this thesis project is to design and model a transitional shelter for the Indian region of Tamil Nadu. Tamil Nadu is located on the southern coast of India, and was the region most affected by the recent tsunami. The transitional shelter should be a shelter that serves as an infrastructure that can be absorbed into a more permanent structure with the flexibility to promote future expansion. The design of the structure takes into consideration climactic concerns such as ventilation or seismic issues, and tries to suggest cultural continuity between the new architecture and previous architectures. by Shauna Jin.
