<p>During our Intersections event at The Eden Project on 2nd March, we did something really rather special to raise money for ShelterBox - the international disaster relief charity that delivers emergency shelter, warmth and dignity to people affected by disaster worldwide.</p> <p>The 'ShelterBox hotel' was constructed at Eden in the Mediterranean Biome on Wednesday 2nd March; built using approximately 10,000 (or roughly a 40ft lorry load of!) disused tent poles and other salvaged materials. student volunteers from Falmouth University College, visitors to Eden and a&nbsp; talented team&nbsp; from Expedition Engineering in London all worked together on the build.</p> <p>The Hotel was an experiment in accommodation,&nbsp; designed as a safe structure with the help of highly acclaimed structural engineers, but created by all-comers.</p> <p>There were a limited number of places available for delegates of our Intersections conference ( www.intersections2011.com)&nbsp; to stay at the 'Hotel' to swap&nbsp;a night in a bricks and mortar hotel for an incredible night camped out in the Eden biome under the stars.</p> <p>The experience was Lo-fi but that doesn&rsquo;t mean roughing it, think of camping with a luxury twist.&nbsp; We provided&nbsp; a unique experience including homely comforts, such as a locally sourced breakfast, laid back musical entertainment and other goodies.</p> <p>If you would like more information on&nbsp; the ShelterBox hotel; please get in touch with us at <a href="mailto:intersections@dottcornwall.com">intersections@dottcornwall.com</a></p> <p>or if you would like to just give to this amazing and much needed charity - please donate now!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
