On June 1st, I built a mockup of one section of the... 262@http://www.rawthought.com/projects/yurt/ detail mockups 2002-06-08T12:15:51-08:00 http://www.rawthought.com/projects/yurt/archives/000261.html The initial question we had was whether the accordion-style walls we'd designed would actually stand up. So I built a simple mockup out of cardboard, twine, and paint buckets, and strapped it to our backyard deck.

The purpose of this experiment was to compare various materials and methods of construction for acoustic and thermal insulation. The following materials were employed in the most successful earmuffs: Dacron (polyester fiberfill)... 260@http://www.rawthought.com/projects/yurt/ materials & manufacturing tests 2002-01-21T11:40:15-08:00
