Hexayurt
A hexayurt is a simplified disaster relief shelter design.[2] It is based on a hexagonal geodesic geometry adapted to construction from standard 4×8 foot sheets of factory-made construction material, built as a yurt and prioritizing wasting as little material as possible.[3] It was invented in 2002[4] by Vinay Gupta.[5] Hexayurts are common at Burning Man.[6]
