Wilderness Walk

The book 'Poetics of Space' by Gaston Bachelard has been the inspiration and reference for this project. It aims to create a dwelling in the topography of tropical jungle. This abode chases the oneiric feeling of being serene, private and with one's own self. The stack-like yet free structure is a whole world in itself and uses the principles of expansion and concealment to stay true to it's nature. Inspired by a hummingbird, this dwelling makes its way in the forest.
