Clothed Spaces esplora la tenda da montagna come forma primordiale di architettura: una micro-architettura leggera e temporanea che dialoga direttamente con il paesaggio. Non solo un oggetto tecnico, ma una presenza capace di “vestire” la natura senza alterarla, creando un equilibrio sottile tra artificiale e naturale.

CLOTHED SPACES invita a progettare una tenda da montagna innovativa, intesa come micro-architettura temporanea e leggera. Il concorso ha un approccio concettuale e sperimentale e incoraggia proposte audaci che superino l’idea di semplice riparo. Al centro vi sono il rapporto tra forma e funzione, la ricerca su materiali e superfici intese come “pelle architettonica”, e l’esplorazione di soluzioni reversibili, leggere e a basso impatto. La tenda è concepita come spazio abitabile per due persone, estendibile fino a quattro, con particolare attenzione a montaggio, smontaggio e trasportabilità.
