# Eco-Friendly Emergency Tents The 'Lattice Tent' Supports Plant Growth After Use By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2017-11-29 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lattice-tent References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2017/11/28/the-disaster-tent-that-outlives-its-need/) The conceptual 'Lattice Tent' works to provide a very [solid shelter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/t4-overland-exp-hub) for humans in the event of an emergency, while also being functional once it has been used for its intended purpose. The tent features a lattice design (hence the name), which will provide a strong framework for equipment to be used on top including a radio antenna or rain-harvesting system. The exterior of the walls are made from an [eco-friendly membrane](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allspace-1) that will allow [plant life](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/treesoil) to break through once the tent is no longer needed as a shelter. The process only requires that a handful of seeds be tossed into it to start the growing process. The 'Lattice Tent' is the design work of Rodney Adank, Andrew Drain, Michael Jones, Sam McCafferty and Lachlan McIntyre. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.5/10 - Popularity: 92% | Activity: 95% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Eco-friendly Emergency Shelters:** Designing emergency shelters with eco-friendly materials and functions opens up opportunities for sustainable disaster relief solutions. - **Multi-purpose Emergency Tents:** Creating emergency tents with additional functions, such as rain-harvesting systems or radio antennas, presents opportunities for versatile and efficient disaster response. - **Living Infrastructure in Emergency Shelters:** Integrating plant growth and living infrastructure into emergency tents allows for post-disaster regeneration and sustainability efforts. ### Where This Applies - **Disaster Relief:** Developing eco-friendly emergency shelters benefits the disaster relief industry, paving the way for sustainable and efficient response strategies. - **Green Building:** The use of eco-friendly materials and the integration of living infrastructure in emergency shelters contribute to the advancement of green building practices and innovations. - **Sustainability Solutions:** Creating multi-purpose emergency tents with sustainable features creates opportunities for the sustainability industry to provide innovative solutions for disaster response and recovery. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Lunar Lander-Inspired Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kudhva-kanvas-ktent.md) - [Solar Energy-Capturing Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jackery-lighttentair.md) - [Carbon-Neutral Camper Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twoperson-backpacking-tent.md) - [Angular Multi-Level Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nokken-softshell-tent.md) - [Durable Adventure-Ready Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/space-acadia.md) - [Expansive Multipurpose Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multipurpose-tents.md) - [Plant-Filled Latticed Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/touching-eden-house.md) - [Consolidated Camping Shelters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/consolidated-camping-shelter.md) - [Ergonomic Suspended Camping Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/switra-swisstrail.md)
