The Bromeliad Research Shelter is a single-person installable shelter designed allow researchers to live and work for weeks in the upper canopy where the greatest biodiversity exists. It's air-inflated trusswork and minimal carbon fiber frame make it light enough to be packed to a location, opening up areas of forest which were previously unreachable
