Seems like a very good answer. I do think your concept is great! Particularly i the South West where you don't not have the issues with humidity, such as here in the south.
It seems that the Hexayurt , as a very tightly sealed structure, is becoming more useful in very cold areas, low humidity due to low temperature, and very arid desert regions. Looking thru my book of architectural history, it prove out again the native / natural feel to a hexayurt. it's scale and proportions just "feel right" FrankLLoyd Wright called i t "the natural Home" one in which " The form of the house follows it's human purpose. The hearth as the center of the home and focus for family." I believe that as the idea develops different styles of construction will be developed. The papercrete / Adobe for the southwest. Mud and waddle or insulated rammed earth in northern climes, lighter natural fiber based designs in humid hot areas, etc. I wonder. Has anyone tried to make a hexayurt out of reeds? or other cane like plants? You could make mats in the proper shape, and connect them together using stronger canes as structural support in the edges of each sheet of material.
