Stargazing

CONCEPT

Imagination is something that pushes us forward to discover

new things, and something that children can be very good

at. I decided i wanted to use the keywords imagination and

memories to help me create the project.

The night sky inspires us and makes us dream of distant lands

and strange places. But our imagination is perhaps strongest

at night and in our dreams. Therefore I wanted to connect the

experience of looking at the stars with the possibility of sleeping

under the stars. A place where memories can be created

and imagination run wild. The stars served as maps for the

seafarers for thousands of years and the pod can be seen as a

vessel for exploration, a means to take us to distant worlds that

our imagination dreams of.

I started the process by trying to explore the concept of

imagination and memories in drawings and collages, trying to

free my imagination and use it in the same way as the children

in the school did when we challenged them to draw. And

through this experience I landed on some irregular organic

shapes.

The pods shelter you from the wind and weather using your own

body heat to warm up the small volume.

The structure can be made off site and then transported to the

site and conected to the supports.
