The “Bivacco” Competition

A few months ago Luca Rizzi Brignoli, Davide Neri and I decided to enter a competition to design a 20 cubic meter shelter, known as a bivacco, for hikers in the Italian alps. We decided to enter 2 weeks before the deadline and what you see is the result of two weeks of evening toil, which was a lot of fun.  The basic concept was to make the building as tall as possible so that it would work as a waypoint for hikers, provide a look out platform and create a larger surface area for photo-voltaics.
