Off-grid camping (+ Update)

Summary: this was for a school assignment. :)

 

In September I started a minor which is all about developing your creative talents through various art forms, to discover "the designer in you" (my bachelor is in water management, btw). I'm really enjoying it so far, exciting stuff!

 

The assignment was preluded by a session where you had to craft several small things from throwaway household materials, and at the end everyone showed their creations. The assignment was then to make something inspired by someone else's creation, but in a way that is "typically you". The idea which sparked this build was a mini tipi tent made from blue cloth on a block of wood. Nothing special in the eyes of the creator, but it was enough to inspire me!

 

Fun fact: the figure is actually the sigfig of the creator of the tipi. She built it during the LEGO workshop that I gave, also for the minor. Pics of that are on my instagram (@mathijs_dubbeldam_exetrius).
