Disaster Proof House 

This project was really exciting for me because we got a to build a house. Going into this project, I thought all we have to do is a build is a house how simple. But think again. Any project given by Ms. Garcia that is worth a lot of points is never simple. The catch to this project was that you have to find a place any where in the world with a natural disaster. Then you must build a house that will withstand the natural disaster. My group choose the tsunami that happen in Tohoku Japan. They way we decided to fix the problem of houses getting destroyed, was putting houses on pillars. The house did survive the testing but with very little water damage. This was a successful house.
