MOBILE LIFESTYLE BEDOUINS, AS DESERT DWELLERS ARE A PERFECT INSPIRATION AND CONSUMER OF A MOVABLE HOME, SINCE IT IS PART OF THEIR LOGISTICS AND THEY ALREADY USE FABRIC TENTS.
FLOWING EARTH
bediouns
ALTHOUGH A VERY EARTHY MATERIAL SAND IS SO LIGHT THAT IT RESPONDS IN A FREE-FLOWING MANNER DANCING IN HARMONY WITH SOUND, WIND AND WATER.
A TRAVELLING CHANNEL CONCEPTUALLY THEY EMBODY THE PURPOSE OF A MOVABLE HOME HAVING THE SENSE OF BELONGING TOWARDS THE DESERT WHILE NOT SETTLING IN ONE PLACE SOLVING A MAJOR PROBLEM OF HOME MOVABILITY.
WHO WHERE
SUEZ
SUEZ TERRAIN IS MAINLY DESERT AND ALWAYS ACTED AS A SETTLEMENT OPTION OF BEDOUINS. THE LANDSCAPE BOTH IN THE CITY BOUNDARIES AND CITY CENTRE IS DESERTED GIVING AN IMPRESSION ON THE TERRAIN THE RESIDENTS ARE USED TO.
SAND REPRESENTED BY DESERT HAS ALWAYS BEEN CONSIDERED A MOVEMENT AND TRAVELLING MEDIUM FORCING ITS INHABITANTS TO BE ON THE MOVE. .
