Brainstorming space concerning "Tensegrity Tents"...

Dante's intention is to experiment with Tensegrity approaches as to build up an easily foldable tent, which, combined with hammocks ( some kind of large filet ) offer one or more "floors" from which people can socialize or be active.

Dante wishes to experiment with a design which could be used, in winter ( and summer ) time, in a public park of Brussels where people are used to meet each other.

But also, on a larger scale, potentially for a Nomad Tribe approach :

Tensegrity Tent

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensegrity

"Tensegrity, tensional integrity or floating compression, is a structural principle based on the use of isolated components in compression inside a net of continuous tension, in such a way that the compressed members (usually bars or struts) do not touch each other and the prestressed tensioned members (usually cables or tendons) delineate the system spatially."

Hammock

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hammock

"A hammock is a sling made of fabric, rope, or netting, suspended between two points, used for swinging, sleeping, or resting. It normally consists of one or more cloth panels, or a woven network of twine or thin rope stretched with ropes between two firm anchor points such as trees or posts."
