PROTOTYPING

The QuakeCraft challenge progresses through four prototyping phases. Each iteration improving on the last, until the final shake table test. 

PROTOTYPE 1:
Tallest tower

• Build the tallest tower on the shake table using sticks and 3D printed connectors.
• Measure height.
• Calculate cost.

• Test and rate stability.

PROTOTYPE 2:
Tiny House
Design: Standard

• Design a two level tiny house that has space for a couple to live in.
• Consider wall panels as part of the structure.
• Review window/door placement sheets.
• Record quantity of material to determine cost.

• Test and rate structural integrity.

PROTOTYPE 3:
Tiny House
Design: Custom

• Consider further improvements including custom cut panels.
• Use the drafting paper to draw and order panels for laser-cutting.
• Consider the ability to replace parts after a disaster.
•  Consider other life line supports in your build.

• Test and rate structural integrity.
