  • The newest volume in the Typology Collection is dedicated to the camping tent. A common motif in rural landscapes and urban spaces alike, the tent is an omnipresent typology whose apparent simplicity is deceptive.
  • Halfway between architecture you handle and furniture you inhabit, the tent covers countless uses and brings together heterogeneous realities: a reminiscence of primitive huts, descendant of military camps, a shelter for leisure or necessity — precarious yet resilient, protective yet porous — used in both controlled and extreme environments.
  • An elementary assembly of ultra-high-performance materials, it is designed in the West and produced in Southeast Asia. Even more than the single-material objects studied in previous Typologie issues, this composite object reveals the complex nature of the things that surround us.
