Suspension
This note initiates the study of a temporary suspended habitat, guided by the very high suspension of hammocks in the forest by the Kalina first peoples; used as a vantage points for hunting, as well as their woven ‘gollet' wall constructions.
The graphic note inverts the form of a traditional maroon habitat so that those structural members which are now in tension, are formed from fabric sleeved composite reed cabling.
This hammock-like structure might accommodate occupation at different levels.
