Tornado shelter

This project was a lot of fun for me because I lived in the center of tornado alley for 12 years and I have experience a few times where i needed to shelter myself from a tornado. Our group (see bus shelter post) researched tornado shelters and found that monolithic domes protected from the wind. Therefore, we decided to design an underground shelter with a rounded top that came out from the ground.
