The Hexayurt in Haiti – a technical description

This document outlines the basic elements of the Hexayurt Shelter in general, and one specific configuration suitable for use in Haiti. It’s 17 pages, and covers a lot of the hurricane resistance features that we envisage using in Haiti this year.

    How waterproof is it in a windy rain?
    Is the hole at the top for smoke to get out (thus there would be indoor smoke)?
    How much did it cost and what was the construction time?

    Thanks!
