Wearable Habitats.




Besides the obvious criteria of the materials being lightweight and durable, I also think the idea of colonizing is crucial. The Kengo Kuma House is a simple yet sophisticated example of this. The Immediate Zip Aid Tarp on the "Structures" page above, is another example of that.


Individual structures created to expand and colonize
- zippers, velcro, fasteners
Pneumatic Structures (see definition above)
- inflatable structure support and padding for comfort
Smart Fabrics for rapid response and locating individuals
- gauge illness, body temperatures, etc.
- locate families as crisis continues
