- Abstract
- What is a home in the wild? What do we need for our hike? What can we learn from those who have travelled these lands for hundreds of years before us? This project is an exploration of how to create contemporary hiking shelters, through the process of experimentation and learning form nomadic highland architecture.
This project seeks to capture the fluidity of the Swedish highlands and it wants to suggest a new way to extend the existing shelter network and make the nature around us more accessible. It seeks to find a balance between complexity, assembly and human scale. This while taking in to consideration the fragility of the natural world.

This project seeks to capture the fluidity of the Swedish highlands and it wants to suggest a new way to extend the existing shelter network and make the nature around us more accessible. It seeks to find a balance between complexity, assembly and human scale. This while taking in to consideration the fragility of the natural world.
The fluidity is captured with both a seasonal site change for shelters, and dealing with each site’s need and differences. But also by taking into consideration a future return of the site to nature to recover.
The project therefore deals with construction systems that can handle being moved a few times a year by a only a few people using one or a few snowmobiles.
I have worked with the shelter system from the assembly, to disassembly and the movement between sites. (Less)
