Natural Disaster Response:Global Disaster Search and Rescue ModuleThe Global Disaster Search and Rescue Module is a new alternative to the traditional search and rescue operations. Utilizing existing aviation technology and products, these modules provide search and rescue teams with everything they need to operate in a post-disaster situation. Due to the existing engineering capabilities, these modules are designed to withstand extreme conditions including the potential after effects of a disaster. With the frequency of natural disasters increasing, these modules would be stationed around the world to be ready at a moments notice. The Global Disaster Search and Rescue Modules will make the jobs of rescuers easier, therefore saving more lives faster.

DisastersThe frequency in which natural disasters occur has increased drastically over the last few years. The Global Disaster Search and Rescue Modules would be staged at locations around the world to aid in reducing rescue response times.

The 787The modules utilize retired airplane parts to help minimize the waste stream. These modules feature parts from the fuselage, interior, and wings.

PhotovoltaicsIntegrated photovoltaics (PV’s) are deployed using existing

aviation flap pneumatics. These PV’s are capable of allowing the modules to be self sufficient in terms of power.

Carbon FiberThe new 787 Dreamliner utilizes carbon fiber technology in its

fuselage design. Due to the light-weight nature of this technology, these modules would be drastically lighter than any predecessor.

Mecanum WheelsThis innovative wheel design allows for ultimate maneuverability. The mobile units can perform more complex search and rescue

operations due to the agile ability of the steering.

Dynamic Shock AbsorberAfter a natural disaster the terrain is typically highly altered. These

dynamic shock absorbers allow the sensitive equipment on board to be protected from driving and any possible after shocks.

3D PrintingThis printing technology will allow rescue

personnel to quickly and easily print studies of dangerous situations before putting

themselves in harm’s way.

Autonomous DronesImmediately upon arrival, autonomous drones are released to survey the environment. They

feed back valuable information to search teams to allow for more efficient operations.

RV StorageStorage bays allow for large amounts of

cargo to be deployed in the field. These bays collapse for easy transportation.

Mobile ModulePlug-n-PlayThe mobile modules of the Global Disaster Search and Rescue unit feature plug-n-play technology. This technology allows for each unit to be customized based on the disaster it is responding to. These plug-n-play units come pre-loaded with all the necessary tools and are housed with the modules in storage.

Unit TransportationThe Global Disaster Search and Rescue Modules are transported together and with all accessories securely stored. The units can either be air-lifted in by a helicopter or the units conveniently fit in the existing Dreamlifter airplane. This flexibility allows for easy and quick deployment in any disaster situation. Once stationed all accessories are deployed and the mobile units drive off to survey the disaster.

Laser Scanning DronesLaser scanning drones are deployed in every

disaster situation. They feature high-definition capabilities along with 3D laser scanning technology.

The images captured provide the search teams with a detailed three-dimensional model of the disaster zone. These drones are autonomous

and communicate amongst themselves to provide detailed information back to the command post.

Communication TowerAs the hub of the search and rescue operation, the command post’s communication tower is a crucial element. It allows for efficient and effortless communication amongst teams.

Airline LavatoryUtilizing existing airline technology allows for easy operation. These lavatories are amongst the most efficient in terms of space and can operate smoothly for the longevity of the module.

Airline Bed SeatingTo better conserve space in the command module, existing airline seating is utilized. This seating is already designed to fold flat for sleeping, so it can serve as a place to relax along with a place of rest for the rescue teams.

2013 Solar DecathlonARCH 402 - Spr ing 2012Professor Michele ChiuiniGroup Project wi th Jeff Thornberry

The Usolian HomeThe Usolian Home, inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright’s Usonian Homes, is a solar powered household capable of responding to natural disasters in the Midwest. The design allows the home to be shipped in two modules, which meet against the core wall, a limestone panel system that cuts through the home. The first module, the base unit, would be shipped immediately to respond to a disaster situation while the second can be delivered at a later date to transition the relief unit into a permanent dwelling.

Large overhangs protect the south façade from solar gain during the months that require cooling, yet allow the winter sun to heat the home. The top layer of clerestory windows contains a light diffusing insulation that allows for daylighting while reducing energy loss. By using the sun’s energy to operate without a connection to the grid, the Usolian Home is capable of responding quickly to a natural disaster, while allowing a family to comfortably transition into a permanent dwelling.

J.Cole BarnWhen this client first approached INVERDE Design seeking a home design proposal, he wanted his new home to reflect the design of the pre-existing barn on his property. In order for the design team to move forward, a computer simulated visualization of the existing barn was necessary. This and many other renderings were used to assist the design team in making key decisions regarding the future home.

35

J.Cole ResidenceOnce the renderings of the barn were created, the design team at INVERDE Design was able to move forward into schematic design phase. The homeowner was having a difficult time visualizing the proposed concept, so these preliminary massing renderings were

created. These renderings allowed both the design team and the client to learn about the concept and improve the proposed design.

Webb Front PorchThe design team at INVERDE Design initially proposed a unique detached front porch concept. Although construction on the home was already in progress, the design of the front porch was still a concern to the homeowners. They were not able to visualize what this unique concept was going to look like. This and many other renderings were quickly generated to allow them to see the proposed design.

Contract WorkSummer 2010Howard W. Levi t in, MDPresident/CEO

DQE, Inc.HazMat Decon PlatformDQE Inc. is a 20-year-old company that provides practical products and expert support that improves the safety and readiness of the emergency response (fire, EMS, and emergency management) and healthcare community. Our new product ideas originate from multiple sources. The US Department of Navy approached DQE with an offer to license a product to use that they developed for their internal hazardous materials response team. Before seeking out an engineering/manufacturing firm, we needed to visually determine if our proposed product enhancements were feasible and if they had market appeal.

“Daniel produced a 3-D visual prototype with engineered enhancements that was not only professional and detailed, but nearly 100% on the mark. He beat our expectations in terms of design, deadlines and budget. We met with several engineering firms who commended us on our excellent design work. When we told them that an architectural undergraduate did this work they were impressed (and so were we).” -Howard W. Levitin, MD President/CEO DQE,Inc.

Manufacturing Set >>In order to obtain the patent rights and perform the proper cost estimates, a full detailed manufacturing drawing set was developed. Every piece was dimensioned and detailed with notes to assist a metal fabricator in properly analyzing the proposed design. These drawings were also taken to several engineering firms for analysis.

<< Prototype RenderingsMultiple renderings were created of the proposed design solution. These renderings were developed to allow the company to see if the product had market appeal and to assist in obtaining investment funds for the project. The company hoped to have a market release in 2012. An informational pamphlet was also designed to be used in multiple company presentations.
