In-Habit by Todd Kramer
A shelter for survival is very important during a disaster. However, sheltering survivors is not just enough. Disasters happen maybe because of the nature’s revenge of being abused by people. It is now time to give back to our nature and create an eco-friendly survival shelter. The In-Habit is a perfect example of what I am talking about that represents a next phase of disaster relief shelters. It might be inspired by structural forms of the past; it utilizes new materials and technologies that are ideal for disaster relief. In-Habit is manufactures from recycled plastic bottles, and has Photovoltaics (OPV) that absorbs and store solar energy that are then transferred to OLEDS for electricity lighting use at night.

Solay : Modular Running Shoe Concept
Every imagine to have replaceable shoe ? Well Solay is a concept modular running shoe with removable mid-sole where runners can easily swap whenever they need a new one, thus prolonging the life of the shoes by several months, and allowing the runners to train in shoes that have become comfortably broken-in. In the course of a training season, serious marathon and distance runners may have to replace their running shoes every 3 months, not because the soles wear out, but because the thick foam mid-sole inside the shoe gets compressed and loses its resiliency, compromising the critical support that the runner’s feet need.
