This prototype is based on a modular cross section rib, with the ability to deploy with a thick skin system. A series of 6 arched ribs compose the proposal. Each of them have a skin which deploys with the structure and has the ability to move parallel to the ribs. The sides of the arched form are made of a flexible soft skin which allows connection to other similar units. An outer mesh layer is able to detach to zip to the next tent. The shelter houses four to five people.
-
- Prototype 2 houses 4 to 5 people in a 14′ x 14′ footprint
-
- The structure is divided into 5 deployable rib parts which house a equally deployable skin.
-
- A deployable system of expandable locking ribs is populated with a more flexicle thickened skin.
-
- A thick cross section of skin houses several layers for waterproofing, insulation, and a detachable mesh to connect to adjacent tents.
