Abstract
A structure, which can be used as a portable shelter or tent, has a cover and structural elements disposed therein to permit the cover to lay flat or stand erect. The cover has two layers, one layer being thermally reflective and another layer being thermally absorptive. Similarly constructed removable panels can be attached to standoffs incorporated into the cover. The structure is reversible, so that the structure can either reject or absorb ambient heat. The standoffs are provided on each side of the cover and connections for attaching the removable panels to the standoffs are provided on each side of the removable panels. In this way, the removable panels can be attached to the interior or exterior of the structure with either side of a removable panel facing towards the cover.
