New since 2015!
More contrast for a vivid optic.
Project description
A room with a view
This project has been developed from an architectural design studio at the Harvard Graduate School of Design, led by Rok Oman and Spela Videcnik from OFIS. 13 students were facing the challenges of designing an innovative yet practical shelter to meet the needs of the extreme alpine climate. Inspired by the vernacular architecture of Slovenia with its rich and diverse architectural heritage, the selected bivak also responses to the harsh conditions of wind, snow, landslides and terrain. The material of the outer shell is realised with öko skin, as the concrete slats withstand extreme mountain conditions and offer long-term resistance. Concrete consist of natural materials and its authentic appearance corresponds with surrounding landscape and mountains. The alpine shelter is located on Mountain Skuta in Slovenia. Its position within the wilderness respects the natural resources while having a minimal impact on the ground.
