Text description provided by architect.

The project emerges as a nomadic and ephemeral structure that can be assembled in a short time by only a few people in different locations. The mounting system consists of five elements.

A flexible framework of free appropriation, which by its own configuration and atmosphere, proposes fertile settings for gathering, sharing and interacting, as well as functioning simply as a shelter of shade.

It is from the overlapping game of these temporarily incongruous images that the idea of a travelling tent arises.

When we rethink the nomadic dwelling, we think of the first settlers of the Río de la Plata-River.

And when we think of a playful and itinerant community, we inevitably think of circus architecture. Due to its capacity of flexible assembly, we will take action to make sure it keeps moving.

The project was built in the 2020 edition of the Hellowood Argentina-festival together with a team of eleven students.
