This weather proof fabric is attached to strong bendable, compressed plastic which can open to create vent holes and exits and seal to keep warm. It's a very strong, sturdy structure that can fold up, collect rainwater and charge a battery with solar farbric.
It was developed by Abeer Seikaly, with the Weaving a Home project and was intended for refugees. It has popular appeal as well.
The preformed tube members are woven into cloth and can be bent
I highly suggest visiting their website to peruse the technical schematics.
And you can shower in it
