At the competition there were presented the projects developed by such world renowned architects as Frank Gehry, Patricia PATCO and Antoine Predock.

This choice of materials also adds visual warmth to a shelter in cold climate. Fancy form design — the result of the optimization of the detention of a high temperature. The only holes in the netting is the entrance and window, which is necessary for lighting.
