The members of the Jury of the FAD Awards in their assessment they have highlighted: “An extraordinary simplicity and constructive austerity makes the project an unrepeatable typological essay and very easily adaptable to different realities. The references to the imaginary of the colonies as camps in nature make the project a memorable place for the users”.
