Shelter- Michael McDaniel Reflection

Michael McDaniel is an amazing person who say a problem and stepped forward to fix the problem on his own when the government would not. His design of the disaster houses were very innovated and simple yet modern. His design even had a way to were the people using them could re-position them to fill their needs.

In the beginning, I was very disappointed in how he said that he was having trouble finding people to fund/help him develop his idea; an idea that would be helping the AMERICAN people. Still, he was able to find investors and companies to help him and develop his idea. His determination of making designs, spending his own free time, and his own money shows his determination on his idea and the idea of helping others.

The one thing that we talked about in my science class is the use of our lands and homes. Although big houses are great, we are wasting a lot of land. The idea of compact houses do not always please everyone but in today’s increasing population, the idea of having compact community areas like this, not just for disaster relief but for everyday living could be a bigger step in our step to environmentally friendly living.
