Fashion to the Rescue Wearable Architecture: Fashion to the Rescue Cherri Mariñas May 2011 Submitted towards the fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctor of Architecture degree School of Architecture University of Hawai‘i Doctorate Project Committee Chairperson: Amy Christie Anderson Geoffrey Lewis Darius Homay Wearable Architecture: Fashion to the Rescue Cherri Mariñas May 2011 We certify that we have read this Doctorate Project and that, in our opinion, it is satisfactory in scope and quality in partial fulfillment for the degree of Doctor of Architecture in the School of Architecture, University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa. Chairperson: Amy Christie Anderson Geoffrey Lewis Darius Homay ii Abstract This dissertation, titled “Wearable Architecture: Fashion to the Rescue,” studies fashion and architecture in order to assess if the emerging urban nomad fashion trend can inform a new direction in temporary disaster relief for the families of Hawai‘i. The intention is to discover whether the clothes and accessories worn by survivors of natural disasters in bicoastal cities can provide shelter and relief to survivors between the event and the supply of government issued temporary housing. The methodologies used to prove the need for a wearable disaster relief kit are organized into three parts. The first topic researched is natural disasters. Analysis and observation of natural disasters support and demonstrate the need for a kit in times of a natural disaster. This section covers the various needs and problems of a disaster victim and thus reveals what design features should be incorporated into the proposed prototype. The second topic researched is minimalist shelters, which include indigenous shelters, low-income housing, and homeless shelters. This study is crucial as it explores the world of people who live with only the most basic and simple items that are necessary for survival. The resulting information is aimed at defining the basic essentials of everyday survival and how these necessities can be incorporated into a wearable disaster relief kit. The third topic researched is current related technologies. While the first two parts focus on the needs of people following a natural disaster as well as on a day-to-day basis, this part focuses on the tools and inventions that people have created to help address those needs. The information gathered concentrates on portable architecture, wearable architecture, survival kit tools, and materials. With this information, ideas for the prototype arise as the potential and constraints of each invention are examined, thus paving the way for design features that can be incorporated into the proposed prototype. Based on the information gathered, the design parameters were created and this list served as a guide for the wearable disaster relief kit prototype. By establishing the limitations and structure of the design, it paved the way for the design of The Compleat Retreat. The Compleat Retreat is an all-in-one shelter, jacket, floatation device and emergency kit. iii Table of Contents Introduction

  • Adaptable Furniture for Villages in Senegal
    ADAPTABLE FURNITURE FOR VILLAGES IN SENEGAL MASTER’S DEGREE IN ADVANCED STUDIES IN DESIGN-BARCELONA SPECIALTY IN CONTEMPORARY DESIGN AUTHOR: HALIMATOU M’BALLO DIAO COURSE: 2020-2021 DIRECTOR: JOSEP MARIA FORT MIR ADABTABLE FURNITURE FOR VILLAGES IN SENEGAL HALIMATOU M’BALLO DIAO ABSTRACT Most houses and rooms in the villages in Senegal lack space since most rooms are used by more than one person. And since there isn’t a space specifically used as a living room, the bedrooms also work as such. That is why the owners of those rooms end up not having enough space to store all their belongings and have all the furniture that they need. This project aims to create a product that works as adaptable furniture for people, mostly women, and their children, who live in the villages of Senegal. We can define adaptable furniture as objects that can be easily moved around, adjusted, and changed, according to the situation. Therefore, I can solve the problem of lack of space while showcasing the traditions of Senegal and the skills of the craftsmen and manufacturers of this country. It is also important that the products will be manufactured in a sustainable and humane way. So, I can pay fair wages to the workers and create a minimal environmental impact. To prove the hypothesis that the villagers of Senegal truly need my product, I made an initial study, analyzing the place and the target user along with a study with similar cases in other countries and similar products that already exist in the market. Following this step, and with the information gathered, I defined what are the parts that my furniture will have, and how each one should interact with the other.

  • Arctic Activities
    Arctic Background AArrccttiicc AAccttiivviittiieess TThhee TToolleeddoo ZZoooo Arctic Background The Arctic Geography There are several ways that people define the region of the world known as the Arctic. Commonly, the Arctic is often described as a region of snow and ice surrounding the North Pole. This may appear to be true, especially during the winter. Yet, a large part of the Arctic is composed of forested tundra where a large number of plants and animals live. Technically, scientists define the Arctic as the region above 66 degrees, 30 minutes of North Latitude, an area known as the Arctic Circle. Within this region, the sun does not set in the summer. Other definitions rely on the extent of tundra vegetation, distribution of animals, the presence or absence of permafrost, temperature or the southern extent of pack ice. Some simply define the Arctic as a very dry, cold desert. Whatever the definition, the Arctic is large, almost equal in size to the entire continent of North America. Ironically, though most of the Arctic is made up of water it is technically a desert. Since the water is frozen most of the year, it is not accessible to plants or animals. Because of the extreme cold, the atmosphere is unable to hold enough moisture for it to snow or rain very much. In the summer, when the ice melts, water does become available in the lower Arctic regions. Since there is no drainage, it collects and pools to form huge wetlands. The layer of permafrost beneath the surface stays permanently frozen and does not allow water to percolate through the soil.

As a result the demographic, economic, social and cultural characteristics of urban areas are changing, particularly in countries undergoing rapid urbanisation. Planning and Housing in the Rapidly Urbanising World explores a range of international approaches to this trend within the fields of housing and urban planning, with a particular focus on countries in the South. The impact on land use and housing is described and analysed with reference to the related issues of poverty, health and the environment. Jenkins, Smith and Wang investigate the evolving relationship between development strategies and urban issues using a series of international case studies of planning and housing in Latin America, Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa.

  • Bearpaw, Meadow Ranger Station 2006 End of Season Report Nina Weisman
    BEARPAW, MEADOW RANGER STATION 2006 END OF SEASON REPORT NINA WEISMAN This year the Bearpaw Ranger Station was staffed from June 26 to September 28. General Observations: This year I contacted about 1300 hikers on the trails, off trails, and at various campsites in the backcountry. Most of these visitors were backpackers; about 100 of them were day hikers, seen close to the trailheads. I contacted approximately 35 stock users, all clients of commercial packers. The High Sierra Trail gets most of its stock traffic from the biweekly High Sierra Camp resupplies. Twice a week between 8 and 12 head of stock came to Bearpaw and returned to the trailhead the same day. The Horse Corral Pack Station holds this contract. Also, the Hockett Trail Crew stayed at Redwood Meadow at the beginning of the summer and kept their stock in the admin section of the meadow. This season I issued one citation in the backcountry for lack OJ wilderness permit and one additional citation was mailed to the other half of the party. Also, we are investigating a littering offense, which may result in a citation. Imade a few warnings for food storage this season. While working in the frontcountry for a week, I issued about 12 citations, included among these were food storage and various traffic and weapons violations. This year I had some minor medicals and assisted with a medivac from Bearpaw. I also performed 3 minor medicals while in the frontcountry. I did not participate in any major SAR's this season but assisted with 2 minor SAR's in the frontcountry, and had a short SAR at Bearpaw with an overdue hiker we found within an hour.

MILLER Editor of Field and Stream Author of "Rifles and SHOTorrNs," "The Boys' Book of Hunting and Fishing," "The Boys' Book op Canoeing and 'Sailing," etc. ILLUSTRATED NEW YORK GEORGE H. DORAN COMPANY ^^^ COPYRIGHT, 1918, BY GEORGE H. DORAN COMPANY -4 1913 COPYRIGHT, 1917-18. BY THE FIELD AND STREAM PUB. CO. PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ©Ci.A-i97159 ^10 I PREFACE Camping out may well be classed as one of the liberal arts, so wide is its application. Once the bulwarks of civilisation are removed, veteran and tyro alike come under the same skies, and must conform to the same principles governing life in the open. Whether one hits the far trail, by canoe, pack train or back pack, or whether one camps within easy distance of team transportation, the same actualities of weather, insect life, camp cook- ery, and shelter confront one, and their successful solution must be achieved to make the camp an enjoyable memory. Virtually the only difference is in the limitations of weight imposed on the nomadic camper who travels in the wilderness, which limitations are by no means as exacting when the camp is permanently located for the proposed stay. Hence a book on modem camping out would have to contain chapters adapted to both kinds of camping, since the equipment used would vary greatly, while the general system would remain the same.
