Shelter post

1. Triangles and pentagons were used in the design. We used triangles since  they are the strongest shapes and pnetagons because thats how they ended up when we used the pentagon
2. The angles that resulted from the triangles and Pentagon's were 60°
3. The overall surface area was about 44 inches. I would cover this with steel walls to protect the insides
4. The interior was about 50 inches so about 100 people would fit inside if the scale was 1 inch to 1 foot (two floors)
5. I took into consideration the amount of force it would sustain however I did not use any of these in the determining the design
6. Form follows function was considered in this creation by making the "dome" in between very long and very tall. This building takes into consideration that people would have to hide if this was a fallout shelter and this building makes it blend to trees with the same height and a thick width.
