    In the ’70s these would have been known as oil rig survival pods. Nowadays they’re hotel suites. The sometimes floating, sometimes land-based rooms were at one point something people never wanted to have to climb into. Of course, taking out the issue of basic survival and replacing it with modern amenities alleviates many concerns

    DETAILED STUDY ON

    Self-sustaining,
    Survival Pods.
    Design Ideation and Progress.

    Barani P Karthik
    Design
    Ideation and Progress.

    Shape of the Pods are usually


    Spherical or Ellipsoidal due to
    their structural significance.
    An Elliptical Shaped
    Capsule is even more
    impact resistant and can
    accommodate more
    people.

    Also, having a fairly significant


    aerodynamic form, it can be
    more efficient in the disaster
    scenarios as well.
    A more technical, yet Design-front sketch describing the
    elevation and the Dock stationed at the Shore area.
    Scale of the Survival Pod is subjected to the budget and the
    ultimate preferences of the end user.

    Grid or Band provided at


    the surface of the hard
    shell, this prevents the
    pod from sea debris
    impact. This is one vital
    feature for the survival
    pod.
    This Ellipsoidal Capsule is
    efficient towards
    Disaster Impact and also
    shares the force
    transferring throughout,
    rather than damaging
    the pod.

    Tethering Port to be provided


    at the bottom of the capsule.
    This anchors the pod to the
    bottom of the ocean, this
    prevents the pod from
    moving away from the safe
    zone..
    The frequency and severity of natural disasters is a subject
    much studied by scientists, as we struggle to understand the
    condition of our fragile planet. Now, experts in risk
    management are making their own conclusions based on
    scientific evidence. The United Nations’ head of disaster
    planning is warning that failure to prepare for inevitable natural
    disasters will have “inconceivably bad” consequences, especially
    in light of cascading tragedies, where one event kicks off
    another equally destructive one.

    In the ’70s these would have been known as oil rig survival
    pods. Nowadays they’re hotel suites. The sometimes floating,
    sometimes land-based rooms were at one point something
    people never wanted to have to climb into. Of course, taking
    out the issue of basic survival and replacing it with modern
    amenities alleviates many concerns
