ABSTRACT:
A modular tent structure capable of withstanding high winds by minimizing the aerodynamic forces on the structure by use of a sectional design which acts through a series of negatively cambered air foils. A covering fabric is suspended between structural supports of the tent to provide a variety of patterns. Each pattern is subsequently based on a four, six, or eight-sided geodetic support member arrangement raised to common apical coupling points.
