[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Ginger Beacon: [QB] I like the concept Reverend has come with for the hexagonal pods - reminds me of blockbusters. I used to work for a company that had developed a sort of plastic utility cabin, as a kind of cheap, more mobile and more customisable portakabin for use on sites. The basic concept was a hard, durable plastic floor about 10' x 10' with shaped corners. Into each corner an 8' leg fitted, and was secured by quick action clamps, which you tightend to lock, and then the roof went on, in a similar fashion. You then picked what walls you wanted from a huge range, including doors, windows, fold out tables, blackboards, showers, loos etc etc. These were than clipped into place, and because the whole thing was modaular, you could have as many as you wanted, all clipped together. If you wanted to change it or move it - piece of cake. You could put each module up, single handed, in about 3 minutes. Frankly if I were you, I'd patent the concept as some sort of emeregency shelter for areas with no or damaged infrastructure. On the actual design - I'd probably move the hatch that links the floors so that it's in line with the supports, and probably make it rectangular, so you could fit a stair case or something, and rip off the customisable wall idea. That would allow you to stack them, but not just one on top of another, or tesselating. I might also design a secondary external framework, to support taller buildings. I see these as being more semi permanant than akin to a temporary portakabin. I also appreciate, that I'm being a bit too real world here and going of concept slightly, but shrug. [/QB][/QUOTE]
