Hello hexayurters! I was amazed to see so many foil covered Mongolian-inspired dwellings this year. I don't think I went one block without seeing at least one. When I arrived at my village, Playagon, I realized we had a faction called Yurtopia. They had at least 5 hexayurts all placed together, including ours built for use as common space for Future Camp and our village.
My most favorite cooling system was built from a Home Depot bucket by fellow Future-Camper Charlie. It was sophisticated yet simple and here is his recipe: http://burningman.rengeekcentral.com/swampcooler.html. His yurt stayed cool 24-7. I wanted to put more time into decor this year, but didn't have quite enough. However, I discovered that vinyl stickers stick quite nicely to the outside of the hexayurt. We used a hot pink octopus on the door, which actually had only six legs so we called it a hexapus. =) Here is a beautiful vivid vinyl sticker: http://www.etsy.com/listing/55779583/sale-hot-pink-poppy-field-vinyl-wall?ref=sr_gallery_10&ga_search_query=vinyl_graphics&ga_search_type=all&ga_page=&order=&includes[0]=tags This year we achieved a huge critical mass with people learning to build hexayurts. Next year I believe we'll see a new generation of innovation in regards to cooling, furnishing, decorating, and hexa- uses. My intended improvements will include an air/dust-lock layer on the inside that zips up and keeps it sealed, the bucket swamp-cooler, and the addition of a head-phone/sensory dep station that will allow people to relax and block out additional noise.
