EDITORS COMMENTS
This architectural design, circa 1939, showcases Tecton Bomb Shelter Design with a capacity to accommodate 830 people. The intricate sectional view reveals the meticulous planning and engineering involved in creating a large-scale bomb shelter. The design begins with a series of entry ramps leading to the shelter's main entrance. Once inside, occupants are greeted by a central shaft containing essential facilities such as bathroom amenities and ventilating ducts. The central shaft acts as the shelter's backbone, ensuring the efficient distribution of air and water. Two sets of air extracts and intakes are strategically placed to maintain a constant airflow, ensuring a breathable environment for all occupants. The water sump, located at the bottom of the central shaft, collects and filters rainwater, providing a vital water source during emergencies. The design also includes air conditioning units, which were a remarkable feat for the time, ensuring a comfortable living environment for the shelter's inhabitants. The intricate network of ventilating ducts is responsible for circulating fresh air throughout the shelter, maintaining a healthy living condition. This architectural masterpiece, part of the Mary Evans Prints Online collection, is a testament to the ingenuity and foresight of its creators. The Tecton Bomb Shelter Design, with its impressive capacity and innovative features, offers a glimpse into the past and the incredible advancements in emergency preparedness planning.
