Hex village canopies.
Page 11 of 17.
This is a hexagon village with five houses and a courtyard. The entrance is on the right. The courtyard is protected with a double canopy. The edges are connected mostly to the roofs of the hexayurts, with a post out front at the entrance.
The top canopy is rendered transparent to show how the spreaders open up the cloths between the houses. This drawing was done at the Palomar, where 'kevin dude' suggested that the spreaders would have to be repeated all the way from the edge to the center hole, as indicated once here. The wind may make this a necessity but I think it would make the sewing job forbiddingly complicated.
This drawing shows a double hole or oculus, but i think it would be better to leave the lower canopy without one and just have the top opening to vent the heat between the layers.
