Design Challenge:
The reTHINK!NG team proposes the “installation” of a temporary shelter for the sea lovers society dedicated to water sports. These properties must be rethought taking into account the nature which
they are located in as mobile surfing condition of this population. It is not the construction of a building to create a strong impact on the environment, but rather a project that is able to read the landscape and negotiate with it.
It is required that the proposal have a ZERO ECOLOGICAL PRINT, ie, rethinking waste management, contact with the ground or water. The systems must be independent, can not rely on urban rush. They must be self-sufficient and renewable. Where does water or electricity come from? How do the materials get to the site?
The concept of time applied to architectural design. Can be removable? How long would these accommodations be projected for?
All these questions are the beginning of what Rethink!NG aims to promote in this project.
Think of the competition as a laboratory of ideas.ÂÂ
