THE CONSTRUCTION

The construction uses known skills found in wooden boat

construction. This makes it possible to create organic shapes

but also serves as a connector to the intention program.The

construction principle also gives an opportunity for learning

traditional woodworking techniques.

The pods can be constructed by the students in a workshop

and transported to the site. This saves costs in the construction

phase since the students live at home. The pod will easily be

transported by a flatbed truck and then transferred to a tractor

for the final assembly at Rindal

To ease the construction the upper and lower parts of the

pod can be worked on separately before final assembly. This

can make it easier to finish the inside of the pod, and also to

work in smaller groups.The cladding uses the same principle

as the planking on traditional wooden boats. With insulation

and paneling on the inside the pod will be warmed up by the

bodyheat of the inhabitants.

The supports are wooden poles fixed to a concrete foundation.
