Description
The Hexayurt is an incredible project, reinventing disaster housing:
hexayurt.com
Vinay Gupta, the creator of the hexayurt approached me to try to find larger shapes that could also be build (reasonably) simply with zero-waste from 2x1 rectangles. His version of the story is here: vinay.howtolivewiki.com/blog/other/large-hexayurt-style-domes-a-problem-solved-1730
I came up with two additional larger domes. Models for the original hexayurt and the two new domes are all here.
