Something I’ve become very interested in recently is the sport of skyrunning. This is, in essence, a cross-country trail race through some of the most unforgiving and inhospitable terrain in the world, where the elements can turn In a moment. My cabin concept is to provide shelter, and a safe-haven, for such a race high in the mountains. The cabin will be very utilitarian purely to provide shelter and the essentials to survive. Currently I’m undecided on what form the cabin will take but I’m fascinated by the forms and shapes of origami style shelters. Perhaps a more permanent version would be interesting.

Take it to the extreme! Good luck 😉
Will it be nice being in a cabin somewhere when the elements are at their most unforgiving ?
Welcome to the challenge Wallace. Love it. Origami idea is excellent.
Great idea, there’s this great book that has interesting techniques to further push that idea you are pursuing. It’s called, Folding Techniques for Designers: From Sheet to Form. If you can find it somwhere, take a look. It’ll help.
Best of luck
