Problem Statement:
Our goal is to make a foundation made of recyclable materials that floats when an
area floods.
Design Statement:
We will test different recyclable materials and figure out which one has the greatest
buoyant force, and then we will design it into a dwelling and give the materials and
blueprints to the people of the Republic of South Africa.

Recyclable materials must be used for the majority of the design.
