B Home Project & Princeton GDN: collaboration on humanitarian architecture

Pete and crew have been asked to present to the Global Development Network Class at Princeton University on November 8th the concepts of the emergency modular shelter and spacial enclosement system known as the B home.

The B Home Project is a design concept and working prototype for a new way to enclose space. Functioning primarily as a modular, mobile, disaster relief shelter system, the B Home Design can also be utilized as an efficient, temporary or permanent mobile enclosement system.

Princeton students interested in engaging in a humanitarian development project are invited to attend to learn how they can be involved in a interdisciplinary, entrepreneurial collaboration with local industry.

The B Home Project would like to offer internship and potential job opportunities to interested students, with he potential to earn credit toward your degree.

Modern Metal Work is looking forward to working with local college students to help further this project and many more.

Bee Home Progress

Pete Abrams, Bryan Hendrickson, and Tim Heath of the Trenton Atelier held another meeting at Princeton University this afternoon to discuss the Bee Home project with Global Development Network about moving the project further along, garnering student support, and establishing working teams.



They discussed the organizational framework of the Bee Home GDN Partnership, goals, communications, roles and responsibilities, and a basic timeline.

The project partnership will tap the Princeton academic resource base, merging with Modern Metal Work, LLC's manufacturing and fabrication expertise to design, prototype, and implement the Bee Home in the real world by June 2011.
