The Annual NASA Design Convention belongs to NASA and focuses on current trends and
approaches seen being applied in the Annual NASA design competition. It acts as the main and qualifying step
towards winning the convention of that particular year. This year the brief talks about Solace of a Soothing
Shade in the Oppressive Heat of Day, which goes on to explain the heartless and ignorant response shown
towards construction workers. Construction workers are known for their tireless work that they provide but
have never earned any respect or wage equal to that. Highlighting on their shelter that they make during
construction, it is something that they quietly compromise on, they are always disturbed by soot and smoke.
Many pregnant working mothers tie a chulla for their baby closer to their work area while also constantly
providing a hand without that being a factor of ignorance towards their work. Their babies go unnoticed during
these times victimizing them to the debris that may fall during construction. Governments have become aware
of this yet continue to come up with solutions other than just helping them and providing them back. They
come with strategies where construction workers are introduced to workplaces and fellow workers new to them
to avoid unification towards a cause. The trophy this year stands for participants to bridge that lifestyle gap and
design a mobile shelter suitable to any terrain, place or climatic conditions by providing safety, security and
privacy. The shelter must be flexible enough to go through iterations that might take place during different
phases of construction of that particular building the workers will be working on. Students from won citation
for their work on. Students from won Special Mention for their work on.
