Third-year BA students have been invited by architects Spacon & X, in collaboration with IKEA, to design a shelter for an event in Helsingborg, Sweden. The shelter is part of the Tillsammans ("All Together") camp. The goal was to design a micro-architecture that addresses current concerns, fosters social interaction, and provides a unique living experience.
Studio project, Collaboration (2022) with Adrien Rovero
The selected project 'Hanging Shelter' by Alex Nguyen & Gabriel Hafner offers both community life and privacy, depending on the circumstances and needs. During the day, with the parasol in the upright position, the shelter becomes a meeting point where people can gather and socialize. When needed, the parasol can be lowered to create a cozy, enclosed space for rest or to isolate from the outside world. The parasol transforms into a tent, and the benches into comfortable cots. No door at night, no walls during the day.
