Piyali Narayan Swamy:
Sometimes short term simplicity is more appealing to enjoy wild backwoods dramatically than a lavish permanent spread out. The Japanese designer, Hidemi Nishida, has turned this idea into reality. He has designed a temporary winter shelter called the Fragile Shelter.
Located deep into the forests in Sapporo, Japan, the Fragile Shelter or the Shukaijo House consists of six identical temporary hubs that serve as a perfect den to assemble friends and family over a night or day, out in the wilderness. This temporary architecture, inspired by simplicity and concern for natural surroundings, can be easily dismantled without leaving any mark on the landscape. And it has no impact on the environment also.
Designed by Japanese spatial artist and designer Hidemi Nishida the oblique shack stands on a stilted structure that frames over an undulated surface above the average snow level. The tented roof and walls made of translucent plastic sheets hems the unit over the naked wooden basic structure, giving a very rough and natural feel that heightens the mystery of the wooded landscape and extreme weather situation outdoors. The translucent cover not only keeps the inhabitants safe from the harsh weather conditions but also allows extra light and visibility and the feeling of being in the outdoors, but without being in it.
The floor level is stepped up and down to match the undulating ground base, which also provides a spontaneous sitting accommodation to all visitors. The feeling of floating in the air while inside the hub enthuse people to congregate, make merry, have a good time, catch up on friends and family and also a safe haven for trekkers adventuring in the woods. The wooden frame and a small heater provided inside the structure also allows a warm luxury for those who are out at night in a snowy forest.
