Using water-based protection to shield homes from bushfire heat and embers
This project explores a design solution aimed at reducing the risk of homes being destroyed during bushfires through the use of a water-based protective structure. The design focuses on creating a system that can shield an entire home from extreme heat, airborne embers, and direct flame exposure by using water as an active protective element. The project will investigate how such a structure could function in real bushfire conditions, including feasibility, shape, materials, and integration with residential buildings in high-risk Australian environments.
