Prototype_3

erikemartinez — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 19:29:44 +0000

The main parti of prototype 3 consists of a rapidly deployable hard skin to provide resilience in the structure, and the main waterproofing, insulation and wind resistance. It is layered with fabrics that deal with these conditions as well as a pneumatic set of bubbles that assist in insulation and strengthening of the structure. A soft skin is attached to the hard skin which is programmed to peel off and open up as the user sees fit. It also provides physical connection to adjacent tent structures to extend the spaces of the tent. The use of both types of skins allows for a division of programmatic necessity, the former deals with the main environmental and structural factors and the latter with the social agendas embedded in the camp ideology.

Prototype_2

erikemartinez — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 08:29:23 +0000

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.
