Architecture firms invited to design Swedish 'natural structure'

The design would aim to naturally fit in with the surrounding environment, celebrating nature
Competition entries are currently being sought for ‘Hello Nature!’ – a site located at the foot of Mt Omneberget in northern Sweden – which is looking for ”structures that celebrate nature” involving elements of “both education and recreation, or business and pleasure.”
Combo Competitions – founded by London-based Swedish architect Per Linde – has placed emphasis on the ideas presented in proposals, rather than aesthetics alone. Combo Competitions’ main driver is to “promote design concepts where everything comes together to form a whole that is larger than the sum of its parts.”
“Even as our civilisation is becoming increasingly advanced, we still rely on nature to provide the basic building blocks,” reads the Combo Competitions brief. “However, over the last few centuries, people have become increasingly distant from the wild.
“...while humanity’s negative impact on the environment increases, the concern about our planet declines. In the long run, this is a crucial contributor to climate change, affecting the entire planet.
“It is time to reconnect to nature, and to highlight the relationship between humanity and the rest of the planet.”
Situated on UNESCO World Heritage Site Höga Kusten, the proposed site must house structures that can blend in with the surrounding environment. Entries are being accepted until 26 November, while the winners will be announced on 21 December.
