So, my mate Edmund has worked out how to make a zero-waste structure three or so times the size of a hexayurt - still uses whole and half sheets of plywood, but these things are *big*. They look fairly easy to build. I **do not** think that they will survive Burning Man conditions in lightweight materials - there are real hard limits on what you can get away with using tape! - but in heavier materials there's all kinds of possible applications of these puppies. But possibly in tougher materials these would work on the Playa, and I think they'd be truly spectacular architectural spaces too. Give them a look, see what you think. Very, very good work.
