UW-Madison student-designed shelter marries art and function

Kala Van den Heuvel and 20 of her UW-Madison classmates were confronted with images of Hurricane Katrina. They interviewed survivors of the 2005 natural disaster. Their goal: design a temporary shelter that could serve future disaster victims. The final project, a 14-by-10-foot cardboard structure, is on display until Sunday in the lobby of the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art, 227 State St., as part of the museum?s third ?Design MMoCA,? a juried design showcase.
