This year the competition is quite simple - to construct a shelter of the team's own design, constructed to a shape, height, width and length of their choosing in order to create an enclosure to shelter a number of the team's competitors. The winner(s) of the competition will be the team with the most interesting architectural additionally assessed with the number of team members able to sit comfortably inside.
