up and away
An inflatable shelter that can be reversed depending on whether you need cooling or heating and that folds up to fit in your pocket? Nifty.
When we first saw these pictures of Martin Azua's Basic House project, we thought it was just a cool blow-up balloon type thing, designed for people to frolick with as the mood struck them. But, as the name suggests, it's actually his take on a basic house: an inflatable shelter that can be reversed depending on whether you need cooling or heating and which folds up to fit in your pocket. Basically all you really need in a home, sans consumer trappings. Plus it would make a neat festival tent, don't you think?
