Note this is the simplest hexayurt ever made - plywood, 2x4 and screws. No exotica like the tape, no soft materials like the panels. Pretty sure that building industry supply chains contain everything here ;-) Lot of work to be done documenting the design and testing it. Thermal properties are likely to be closer to the tent than the shirtsleeves comfort of a polyiso unit, but the bearproofing is considerably better. A layer of tinfoil (baking foil put on with wall paper paste) would probably help keep the sun off, of course. The return to absolutely standard construction materials and techniques is an interesting step. It's definitely not a design for the Playa primarily, but it could be used there and at other festivals, of course.
