Sleeping Pods on a Cliff Architecture Competition
-競賽主題：
該比賽位於葡萄牙中部偏遠森林的淡水河谷，是和瑜伽靜修所的第三次合作。摩西谷（ Vale de Moses )被NatGeo UK Traveller，《福布斯》和《衛報》等譽為世界上最好的瑜伽勝地之一，定期接待來自全球60多個國家的500多人次。在此比賽中，參與者的任務是設計一個可以容納幾個客人的簡單睡袋。每個睡眠吊艙將需要包括基本的睡眠區和洗滌設施。吊艙的位置將在摩西谷不能用於糧食種植的山坡上。
-時間線：
報名截止 – 2021年4月27日 ，提交截止 – 2021年6月1日
-競賽要求：
評審團將尋找以綠色，可持續建造和運營為設計核心的項目。設計團隊需要在睡艙設計中提出自然污水淨化系統的解決方案，用以灌溉下方斜坡上的森林。睡艙設計的要求是綠色與擁有自我維持的能力，但顯然那些實際上會對環境產生積極影響的設計會更加受到評審團的青睞。懸崖上的“睡袋”是一個構思創新解決方案的機會，可以將人類住所的消極影響轉變為積極影響。具有適當可持續性的人類棲息地實際上可以使生活在森林山坡上的動植物受益。
競賽優勝者需要考慮建造施工（ 並計畫在整個場地中放置吊艙 ），獲獎設計需要在施工和運營中都採用最佳的環保做法。

INTERNATIONAL ARCHITECTURE COMPETITION SLEEPING PODS ON A CLIFF

Competition introduction
COMPETITION ORGANISERS
OFFICIAL PARTNERS
The Sleeping Pods on a Cliff competition is the third collaboration with the Vale de Moses Yoga Retreat, located in the remote forests of central Portugal. Featured by the likes of NatGeo UK Traveller, Forbes Magazine and The Guardian as one of the best yoga retreats in the world, Vale de Moses regularly welcomes over 500 people from 60+ countries worldwide.
For the Sleeping Pods on a Cliff competition, participants are tasked with creating designs for simple sleeping pods that could accommodate a couple of guests at a time. Each sleeping pod will need to include a basic sleeping zone as well as washing facilities. The pods will be located on the mountain rock slopes of the Vale de Moses property that cannot be used for food cultivation.
The jury will be looking for projects that have green, sustainable construction and operation at the core of their designs. They will need to provide a solution for naturally cleaning the grey water system of the pods so that they can be used to irrigate the forest slopes below. While it’s expected that designs for the sleeping pods be green and self-sustainable, the jury will favour those designs that actually have a positive impact on the environment.
The Sleeping Pods on a Cliff competition is a chance to conceive innovative solutions for turning the impact of a human dwelling from a negative to a positive one. The presence of human habitats could actually benefit the plant and animal life living on the forest slopes with the right sustainable development.
As the competition winners will be put forward for consideration for construction – and the sleeping pods are planned to be located throughout the property – winning designs need to utilise the very best eco-friendly practices for both construction and operation.
