One of the beats we stay on top of is temporary architecture [2]--also known as hobo [3] design [4]. So it's with great enthusiasm that we bring you John Paananen's suburban teepee [5].

Granted, it's not hobo design at its purest. But still, it's hobo inspired: Paananen, a recent graduate of Cranbrook's masters program in 3-D design, wanted to translate the old-time designs for igloos, yurts, and teepees into a modern-construction vernacular. This is what he produced, and it became his home for seven months. It's now on view at AguaFina Gardens International [6] in Sylvan Lake, Michigan.
