Project Brief

Andrew Gould

This project proposes a shade system for cars in the school's parking lot. It is unique to the way that it can be designed to cover as many parking spots as possible.

We created this because whenever you get in your car after a long day of school/work, the car is extremely hot. Not anymore, because we’ve designed a parking shade that will keep your car cool.

We built a new type of weight that will hold the structure down. We also are thinking of unique ways the involve the car with this structure. The idea that we thought of is a pressure plate that will move the structure on it's own. We also have two poles that will have a cloth connecting both sides to provide the shade

With the combination of these two structures, we have created a unique shade structure. We also designed it so where it can be built bigger to cover more than 1 parking spot. Overall, our goal is to help getting into car less painful. I think we’ve accomplished this goal.
