Hexayurt

A hexayurt is a simplified disaster relief shelter design.[2] It is based on a hexagonal geodesic geometry adapted to construction from standard 4x8 foot sheets of factory made construction material, built as a yurt.[3] It was invented by Vinay Gupta.[4] Hexayurts are common at Burning Man.[5]
