A little nomadic folk decides to settle down at a high alpine region close to a beautiful lake somewhere in the Swiss Alps. They spend their summers beside the lake – fish, farm and gather herbs to prepare for the harsh winter. During the cold season they move to their winter camp on the highest mountain peak, under meters-thick snow.
The land’s conditions such as altitude, steepness, permafrost, glacier, crops, are the starting points for the development of their settlement. The summer camp consists of temporary huts on a scaffold of poles, connected horizontally and vertically through bridges and stairs. Steep paths connect the vertical summer camp to the horizontal megastructure under the eternal ice.
