Quite a spirit of freedom. Also, small is beautiful: saves resources and forces a lot of attention to detail. Look at this bamboo frame, @mariha ! https://elkinsdiy.com/category/projects/shelters/mobile-shel…

It took me a while to find this abandoned project by Tomás Saraceno. The project from 2003 is a set of instructions for the public, detailing how to make a hot air baloon inflated by the sun using mainly garbage bags. …
