Huts
are the traditional examples of buildings to take human habitation made
out of roundpole, whereas the teepee is an obvious reference to the pole
and hide constructions of the native Americans.
More recently roundpole has been used as the basis of tourist tent-type
structures by Charles Gulland - a former student of Hooke Park.
The Lappset Play Equipment Company have examples of covered seating areas
as part of their range of products and it is easy to see a potential for
the use of roundpole in bus and bicycle shelters and other weather
protecting structures. |
