The following is an attempt to find the words to go along with the pictures and, even better, the video. Also, to see if I've understood the process correctly. LucasG 14:10, 3 May 2011 (PDT)

Walls

Each panel is like a thin book, with front-cover, back-cover and spine. It's like a landscape, so the spine is the short side of the triangle.

You do a set of 3 walls, and then another set of 3 walls. Each set has a tight hinge and a loose hinge.

To make a tight hinge:

• place the two panels flat and aligned on the floor, with the long side of both closer to you, and a short side of one fully touching the short side of the other. They look like consecutive bricks on a wall, with nothing in between.
• place tape along the line where the panels touch each other.
• fold so that the two panels are now stacked.
• place wide tape to cover simultaneously the spine of both panels.
• unfold again.

To make a loose hinge:

• place the third panel flat and aligned with the other two, but separated by the thickness of one panel.
• place wide tape along the line where the panels "almost touch" each other.
• temporarily put a panel on top of the second panel, and fold so that the second, the temporary and the third panels are now stacked.
• place wide tape to cover simultaneously the spine of both panels and the piece of tape between them.
• unfold again.

Fold both sets and stack one on top of the other. Those are your 6 walls.

Roof

First, cut 6 panels along the diagonal, to end up with 12 triangles.

Do the following twice:

• place 6 triangles like half a roof: half a side of the pyramid (1 triangle), one side (2 triangles), another side (2 triangles), half a side (1 triangle). Number those triangles 1 to 6.
• join triangles 1 and 2 with a loose hinge. (Important: the loose hinges are not "loose by the thickness of one panel", but by the thickness of half a panel.) Same for triangles 3 and 4. Same for triangles 5 and 6.
• join triangles 2 and 3 with a tight hinge. Same for triangles 4 and 5.
• fold.

Fold both sets and stack them together on top of the walls you had stacked earlier. That's your folded hexayurt.

Playa

• Unbundle.
• Join walls.
• Join roof halves.
• Place roof on top of walls and tape.
• Fix to the ground.
• Enjoy.
