PROJECT NAME: Tortoise Shell House - Suitaloon Reboot
PROJECT BRIEF:
The town you live in has been devastated by an unfortunate incident. This
catastrophic event's cause and precise nature are unclear. However, you are unable to
access the internet, phone services are down, and all public transportation is currently
suspended. Local officials who have not given a justification and won't respond to the
public have barricaded and taken control of your typical residence. You have no
choice but to build a shelter for yourself outside. After a lengthy search, you discover
a large number of used inner tubes from bicycle tyres in the vicinity of a bike shop. In
addition, you discover a collection of soft plastics (such as plastic bags and
wrapping), as well as a few abandoned ratchet straps.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This piece was influenced by the Mannheim Multihalle. It is translated into a turtle
shell-like mesh shelter that I have created. A rather sturdy structure, the turtle shell is
ideal for habitation since it provides people with a sense of security. Near the disaster
site, there are a lot of broken items, and the local resources, such as branches and
plastic, can be used to construct various elements. The shelter is close to Building F
on the Monash Caulfield campus, close to the grass and trees, and the area is well-
concealed.
