Alps cocoons – Staying pods in the alps
“The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.” — Saint Augustine
Travelling is as old as history dates back to our civilization. Initially, we settled our base at the river banks, and then after learning to harbor a safe refuge we began our next and one of the most essential aspects; wanderlust.
Adapting and innovating our ways through the myriad of existential problems we as humans found our ways into different geographical spaces by learning to travel. This process brought about a drastic transition in our perception of survival and adventure. Traveling is one of the most sought-after things that not only interest almost everyone worldwide but is also a shared dream carried by us. The destinations that we want to visit might vary but the love for the travel rather than the destination is common.
Sometimes it’s the vast valleys or the unstoppable rivers, the dense forests, or sometimes the tall mountains that inspire and allure us.
Short Description
This challenge of the competition is to explore and innovate the concept of staying pods which are to be built in the heart of the Swiss Alps.
