euralmanac: Barcelona, Spain A designer has developed a home that fits in your pocket. The Basic House can be folded and carried around, before inflating to provide a temporary shelter for four people. Martin Azua has constructed the portable abode from metallised polyester. It inflates using body heat or warmth from the sun.  He explains: “This is a basic inhabitable volume; foldable, inflatable and reversible. Ideal for a life on the move without material ties. Having everything without having almost anything. I came up with an almost immaterial house that self inflates with body heat or from the heat of the sun. It so simple and versatile that it protects us from the cold and from the heat when reversed; so light that it floats; and moreover, it folds up and fits into your pocket.” (via Telegraph)
