Introduction to Tiny House Project

Want to try something different for this project, which is an “off the wall” project as it is.

There is a movement for people to make as small a footprint on the earth as possible.  This includes the structure where they live.  The movement is called “Tiny Houses” of “Tiny Cabins,” sometimes adding green to the name.  Your assignment is to design a living structure for two people that can not have more than a twelve foot by twelve foot footprint and no taller than twenty feet.

There is lots of information available on the internet about the tiny houses, feel free to use any source you find to assist you in the design of your tiny house.  That is the first part of the project.

The second part of the project is to share the information you find concerning the tiny houses with the other members of the class.  However, you may not talk to any student in the class.  I am in the process of setting up a blog for this assignment.  You will be required to make at least three posts to the blog of information you have located on the internet concerning tiny houses.  I hope that as you post to the blog, other students and I will make comments about your posting.

You are also required to post your floor plan to the blog so that students can make comments and suggestions about your design.

We will work the week of February 14 through February 21 on the project with all printing to be finished on the 21st.

Remember, there should be no communication other than the blog for this project.  If you have any questions, please post the questions and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

Good luck and lets have fun!!!
