Michelle's Notes

My Final Project:
portable beauty for urban spaces
outdoor "tent"/"half-dome" structure
(check out shelter-systems.com)


I'll be constructing tree pattern/layout in photoshop then printing out on fabric to create structure


pattern:


I started out by using this (i used the 8'/11' yurt dome pattern), i built the model then began to make alterations to the design so it would work for what i wanted to do and this is my final design:

constructed model:


the final piece will be constructed out of PVC tubing frame with a silk pattern
I haven't created a scale model yet, but i plan on making this structure large enough for 2 people to sit/lay/hangout out it.... the height will be somewhere between 4-6 feet tall.... i have to make more models
