In locations like these everyone’s priority is to visit and experience the scenic place through exploration, adventure, and a peaceful mindset. Thus, there is scope for architectural interventions that help amplify and slow down the wonderful experience. As time passes, providing such interventions at every spot becomes a challenge.

As the tourists aim for an intimate visit to the alps they also expect some comfortable amenities. What can be done to give them both exploration and comfort? 

Brief: 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.

The staying pods shall aim to enrich and revive the tourist experience and expand their horizon. These pods are expected to act as a comfortable refuge to the hikers and travelers by providing them with cozy pods in iconically scenic locations that bring them one step closer to their natural abode.

Design Objectives

Understanding the context: Understand the basic requirements needed for a fully functioning pod in the Swiss alps context. Create and conceptualize a kind of Architecture that merges and becomes an inherent part of the alps.

Interior scope and limitations: Study and understand the extreme weather conditions of the alps and their variations across different seasons. The minimum temperature, ancillary requirements that are necessary for the functioning and practicality of the pods are to be considered and proposed by the participants.

Material: Switzerland’s diverse context offers a variety of material palette options to choose from. Analyzing the pod location and its material requirements for both aesthetic and functional use is to be thought of.

Construction techniques: Construction techniques that are specially used and practiced in the mountainous regions especially in the swiss mountains are to be studied and understood to create a sustainable and practically buildable design.

The above objectives can be a point of beginning to conceive this design. Participants can assume their contexts and the user group.

The area of the pod can range between 25-35 sqm. The designed pod is to be replicated on the site provided.
