Abstract [en]
Nomadic Habitation is the result of an architectural and artistic investigation dealing with issues regarding the relationship between consumerism, sustainability, human and nature. The purpose of this project is, through a physical manifestation of ideas which take the shape of a caravan, to enhance different activities, for example food preparation, sleeping and contemplation, performed by the user throughout a longer journey. The journey itself is a way for the user to respect our global resources and awaken curiosity and deepen its connection with nature, with possibilities of discovering new knowledge as well as recreating what has been forgotten.
The intention of the project is not to advocate for everyone to abandon their current civilised ways of living, but rather it is an opportunity to create discussions, understanding and to expand our view of the world through awareness.
The caravan is tailored for a single person to dwell but opens up possibilities for inviting other people to visit. It will then function as a platform for conversation and discussions that take place about the topics that Nomadic Habitation is targeting and will therefore be a way to communicate the ideas and outcomes of research to the audience.
