sphere refugee tents
“German designer Felix Stark has created an innovative refugee tent design concept to address both the physical and psychological needs of individuals in disaster areas. The Sphere concept is comprised of 19 units of tents; the partition walls can be unbuttoned to create larger sections for extended families or remained buttoned for individual occupation. The center of the Sphere is constructed as a social place for single families and inhabitants to gather for cooking or visiting.”

Michael Jantzen’s M-velope
A personal meditation space.
“It was created to provide a special place in which to meditate. The shape and interior light quality of the M-velope can be changed by folding the surface of the structure into many different combinations. Each plane of the surface of the structure is covered with panels that are subdivided in different ways. These panels are hinged to each other, and to the main support frame. Each panel can be moved and easily attached to the main support frame with pins at two locations. The entire structure is prefabricated so it can be easily transported to, and assembled onto almost any site. A small solar panel can be mounted onto the M-velope, or nearby, if power is needed for lights, small appliances etc.”
