Designing Adaptive Structures: Desert and Mountain Structure

Today I am going to design a desert and mountain structure that can withstand heat, sand storms, landslides and can blend in with the desert and mountain environment.

Tinkercad

To make the main structure we first need to make the base which is 2 very long rectangles rounded and grouped to group shapes hold shift and press to shapes then press the grouping tab. After grouping the 2 rounded rectangles you have to add the cones after adding the cones you have to group the cones together then duplicate and adjust the placement of the cones and then keep repeating this step until both sides have a cone fence after this we have to make the main structure.

The main structure consists of 3 main parts: the Aurelia Institute Truncated Icosahedron 2 of them connected to each other, the pyramids and the door way. First get the truncated icosahedron and make a cube shaped door way by clicking cube then clicking hole and then grouping it with the isocehedron, do this to both icosahedrons and then group them together. Now we have to add the pyramids. Add the pyramids to both of the icosahedrons add them on the flat parts of both icosahedron then group them together. After grouping you can add a small antenna on top. Now we can finish the doorway you need 3 rectangle sides then group them together and there you have it your complete structure.

This desert and mountain structure has several features: the spikes help cool off the house by dissipating the heat due to the spikes large base and narrow top. The spikes also forms a protection against land slides and loose boulders because the spikes are very strong and cannot change angle making it more stable so if a boulder fell on the spikes the boulder would break and if a landslide was to happen it would slide off the structure because of its unusual round and sloping shape. The spikes also form a kind of mountain camouflage because it looks like a cave or a giant boulder.
