Zombie Safe House Competition Winners 2011.....ARRRGGH!!

By Bustler Editors|

Detail from the Gold Shovel Award winning entry 'Vagabond Mobile Safe House Device' by Austin Fleming, Texas, USA

One of our favorite architectural design competitions has just announced the winning entries of its 2011 edition: the Zombie Safe House Competition. Sure, laugh about it, but once the postapocalyptic days are upon us and roaming hordes of the undead come for your guts, the term "sustainable design" takes on a whole new meaning.

Austin Fleming, winner of this year's Gold Shovel Award, explains his portable design solution Vagabond Mobile Safe House Device: "Within the Mobile Skeleton, the spring-loaded ribs apply a counter weighted load evenly dispersed on the periphery of the cabin. The concrete anchor bolts are for additional support to prevent shifting. You can buy yours for just 4 easy payments of 24.95 +S&H!!"

But the handy design solutions don't stop here. As Austin commented on his proposal, "reflective surface = zombies don’t attack other zombies." - Smart!
