Nomadic shelters across cultures: Yurts




Really cool installation i saw at Documenta 12

It was just a room of color with a radio sitting in the middle, but the color was really transformative. It was a crazy experience, probably similar to the experience of walking into the emerald city, only red!

As far as using ideas from it in our spaces... we could also play with colored lighting in some of the tents. Perhaps green or blue for calmness, or yellow for warmth??

some more tents:

with this one I like the inside of it... really calming. The outside is a little crazy though. I like the idea of being able to see a little bit of the outside- which also brings up lighting. How do we want to light these tents???This one I like because it is black on the outside, and then you get the surprise on the inside!
