Nomadscapes
_ Part A
Nomad-scape was conceived bearing in mind the notions of nomadism and eco-literacy. What if we could introduce an improvisational spirit in the campers while encouraging them to exercise their own agency and autonomy with the tools at hand? The idea of the pushcart was thus born, as a tool which will follow the campers throughout the duration of the camp. Designed as a kit of parts, the pushcart is made up of a number of elements, affording different configurations. As campers traverse the campsite, they can reconfigure their carts or accumulate parts that will then aid them in overcoming different obstacles throughout the camp. Nomad-scape is designed on 4 different layers considering its site, the setting, the series of obstacle courses embedded within our individual design and lastly the keys or in this case the constructed push-carts that unlock multiple modes of interaction with the obstacles and setting. All in which to encourage a diverse and varied movement pattern that is unique to every camper.
Nomad’s shed
_ Part B
Nomad’s Shed creatively reinterprets the relationship between outdoor adventure and its dedicated storage as one that is reactionary and symbiotic. Storage here is seen as a visual tool and possibly a spectacle that reacts not only to the physical environment but also to the nature of the camp’s nomadic program. Nomad’s Shed aims to provide a means by which adventure storage can reflect the time and seasons to take advantage of these cycles in further educating campers about ecology, teamwork, and sustainability. The project exists in-between the site’s water and land boundaries, featuring a main hall, canoe launch points, push-cart parts, outdoor kitchens, workshop spaces as well as supporting high and low element facilities that engage the use of the pushcart.
