final mark 9/10
The project consists of an intervention in a forest located in the north part of Madrid. The purpose of this express exercise (less than 3 weeks of work) is the building of a shelter in the heart of the forest. The proposal should not be permanent, and should have only basic services: space for resting, for sleeping, for eating and anything more.
My proposal is based on the surroundings, building the invisible. The shelter has to be invisible. The structure is quite simple with a square plan, growing all around the different plants inside of it. The plants that grow inside are species from the surrounding, trying to remind the user that the construction is not forever and permanent. The other important part of the proposal is the skin. I propose a mirror-glazed façade so that the shelter is not visible from the outside: you just will see trees.
