3DD - Nomad Sketches

A couple of quick sketches showing the two ideas “in-situ”.

The first image shows my tripod-tent idea. Take a heavy-duty camera tripod, design fabric sheathes/socks for the legs (with zips attached), along with 3 horizontal triangles, 3 base triangles & 3 face triangles, zip them all together, and you’ve got yourself a tent. Add a central pole for additional structural security, a headpiece for weather protection and aluminium feet, and you’ve got yourself a reasonably sturdy tent.

Second idea developed further on the conceptual structures I developed during Fashion & Textiles week in the carousel. Other than the shape, admittedly this tent is rather bland. I was thinking of adding a secondary fabric layer - either completely zipped, or partially, - which would be translucent or transparent. Hence “cocoon with a view”.
