Tiny Homes

I worked on a Tiny Home design and researched sustainable materials that could potentially be used as an alternative material for future buildings. Researching different sustainable materials opens the opportunity of decreasing the large carbon footprint that occurs behind building construction. This project will contain different tests using the same building design. I mainly focused on using materials such as hempcrete and bamboo as the alternatives and used wood as the control. Using SAP2000 and RISA3D, the deformation of the model can be analyzed.
