The road
What are the possibilities for disabled people to experience the nature? We are constructing roads for cyclists, pedestrians and disabled people to give them the chance to be out and experience the nature. We bring everyone in to the forest and the mountains, but as the pedestrians and cyclists take them selves from the road and in to the nature, touching the nature, feeling the nature we let the disabled people behind. We don’t have any ways to bring them inn to the nature, giving them the same experience as everyone else. The road isn’t longer a possibility, but a barrier. A wall that keeps you on a distance to what everyone else gets to experience.
The Wood
The competition is based on working with wood as primary material, connected to public transport or movement. Wood is a low cost, environmentally friendly material. With the weight/strength ratio that wood has, I could work with a module system that was possible to mount by hand, not intruding the nature with heavier machinery. The construction would with gentle fingers touch the ground beneath, lifting the user up from the ground. The Flora and Fauna will stay untouched, while the user will get the full nature experience.
The Bees
Working with the nature. Working with a natural material. Why not work with a natural construction? The bee cubes hexagonal construction is possible of expanding in different directions giving the project the flexibility it needs. The modules of hexagons create together a pathway into, around and over the nature, letting everyone experience what the nature gives.
This is a natural way to let everyone into the nature.
