D - Animal Shelter

D - Animal Shelter is design to change people's views of those dirty animal shelter...Who thinks about animals during Natural Disasters?

My Shelter design is basically a space for animals whose homes have been destroyed or have been injured, to live temporarily and be rehabilitated.

A space for animals to relax and let go the trauma of what its been through :)

Every designers' dirty little secret is that they copy other designers' work. They see the work they like, and they imitate it. Rather cheekily, they call this INSPIRATION.
