Project description
“DesertSeal” is a tent designed for the extreme environment of the desert. By taking advantage of the daytime heat gradient of arid regions, fresh air is drawn inside by an electrical fan placed at the top of the tent which is powered by a flexible solar panel installed across its exterior face. The overall shape is informed by aerodynamic considerations and allows users to enter in a standing position. Air-filled columns ensure stability in the event of wind and the special silver fabric protects the interior space from the sun.
Date of completion: 2005
