OUGD503 - Disaster Aid/Emergency Packaging - Tent & Triangulation Research

When looking at light, easy to assemble structures, tents are the first thing that comes to mind. They use a system of poles and material which can be plat packed and transported easily.



Further examination of a hexagonal tent has identified uses of triangulation and therefore, structural strength and integrity.

A similar use of triangulation can be seen in the experiment and examples below. It is imperative, that I introduce cases of triangulation into my designs.
