Origami-Inspired Emergency Flood Shelters
Rapidly deployable flat-pack shelters that bloom into stable floating platforms during flood disasters. Using fish-schooling algorithms, units link autonomously to form instant floating communities.
Transforms from flat-pack to fully deployed floating platform in under 3 minutes.
Fish-schooling algorithms enable units to self-assemble into floating communities.
$4,500 per 4-person unit vs $15,000+ per emergency evacuation.
A family watches their flat-pack shelter bloom from a compact box into a buoyant, interconnected floating platform in under 3 minutes, while floodwaters swirl around them—staying dry, connected to neighbors, and safe without evacuation. No panic, no chaos—just quiet, reliable protection when it matters most.
