The Stone Barn Meditation Camp: un fienile in pietra diventa spazio dedicato al benessere e all'eco-turismo

concorso di architettura

Bee Breeders Competitions, in partnership con SRED, lancia il nuovo concorso di architettura The Stone Barn Meditation Camp per creare uno spazio ricreativo polifunzionale nel cuore della Lettonia. Ai partecipanti è richiesto di presentare idee per un luogo dedicato al turismo del benessere e che offra sbocchi olistici come la meditazione e lo yoga.

L'edificio dovrà fungere da alloggio ricavato all'interno di un fienile in pietra, con l'obiettivo di rendere più attivo e popolare l'eco-turismo. The Stone Barn Meditation Camp cercherà di diventare un esempio regionale nella pratica della bio-edilizia e, perché questo accada, è richiesto ai partecipanti di presentare progetti eco-compatibili e basati su un perfetto equilibrio tra costo e funzionalità. 

The Stone Barn Meditation Camp architecture competition is a partnership with SRED property developers to create a multipurpose recreational space. Participants are tasked with presenting ideas for a venue, which focuses on wellness tourism and offers holistic outlets such as meditation and yoga.

The Stone Barn Meditation Camp will serve as a guesthouse, located in a repurposed stone barn in the heart of Latvia, with the aim of further popularising eco tourism. As one of the greenest countries in Europe, Latvia already benefits from a thriving ecotourism trade.

The Stone Barn Meditation Camp will look to become a regional example for green building practice. As competition winners will be put forward for consideration for construction, designs need to place a strong emphasis on eco-friendly and cost-effective building techniques.

Designs for the building complex in this competition need to include accommodation for guests of meditation camps and other small events, permanent accommodation for the groundskeeper, and an inventive and eco-friendly use of space for guests to practice meditation and yoga.

ELIGIBILITY

Competition is open to all. No professional qualification is required. Design proposals can be developed individually or by teams (4 team members maximum).
