-HONOURABLE MENTION of Non Architecture Award Competition | Category: Aspatial
In a place where the independence of direction reigns supreme, the spatial and orientation homogeneity, a mind accustomed to certain points of reference, to three-dimensional identifying structures, will surely feel at first glance a strong sense of bewilderment, of the loss of a reality that unconsciously belongs to him, but now he can no longer live. Where does the potential lie? The energy is in the air. The energy is in the earth. The energy is in the movement, transformed and transported by the transhumant pastures of sheep that enjoy these two elements. If the chaotic and competitive relay of cities and urban centers no longer reflect our intimate existential quest, if such urban agglomerations can no longer satisfy an implicit demand of our being free spirits, then maybe we should open our eyes to new living and cultural horizons never before experienced but constantly sought. Transhumance represents, physically and ideologically, the possibility of a life without the support of representative three-dimensional structures, the tendency to free grouping and dispersion, permanent nomadism. Today this is my home, tomorrow it will be exactly the valley you can see at the base of the rocky ridge. The only geographical references will be the clouds, which moving continuously, will move us.
Project Type: Mobile city for wandering shepherds.
