This is great! I'm very excited that someone built the two-roof-piece model. Thanks, Andreas, for giving it a try and letting us know. Also, Lorin, I never thought of combining the two wall pieces together since that part comes from the standard and well-tested H12. But you're completely right: Since the roof pieces can be sandwiched between the rectangular roof-panels anyway in an H13, you could combine all the walls together. I do agree with Julie, however, that this might lead to a very bulky block.
Steve, I have just prepared a google docs document with step-by-step instructions of how to build a semi-folding H13: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CIqUJf76ZNPmZtZ4Xk_2t7aAkJypT9yKXsdzlNor0z4/edit?hl=en_US. As people have said (as well as disclaimers in the document), this is not a well-tested design yet. But it makes sense, we have at least one person who built it, and I will also be trying it this year. -dou 2011/7/18 Lucas González <[email protected]> > Added to the appropedia page http://www.appropedia.org/Hexayurt_H13 > *2011 will be the first year the H13 is used at Burning Man, so we can't > say it's been "playa tested".
