    Default Architecture Contest Calls for Zombie-Proof Home Designs

    This is an old story but I ran arcross it today. What a complete waste of time and energy..............

    Between diseases, global warming and falling satellites, we have a lot to worry about these days – but let’s not forget about the looming threat of a zombie apocalypse.
    To help us prepare for this potential undead disaster, the folks at Architects Southwest, an architecture firm based in Louisiana, have launched the 2011 Zombie Safe House Competition. The organization has tasked artists, architects and other zombie enthusiasts with one goal: Design a haven that can withstand a full-on zombie assault on civilization as we know it.

    Hay I am an Architecture student. This would have been a great project. Better than my Alien artifact museum.

    Sounds like somebody's "fortress" isn't coming along very well. Is that couch cushion design not panning out like you hoped?


    Seriously, though, sometimes it's goofy shit like this that inspires some pretty cool ideas which can be put to practical use.
