Nida is a meeting of Sands and Forests. Just like the millions of grains in the sand dunes, each strand of timber is one in a million.
Arrayed to allow, (or not allow) the passage of light & air through the structure and into the voids created beneath its surface, this cross laminated timber structure is an abstraction of the formation of a sand dune over time.
The form pays homage to Nida’s unique environment - where the symbiosis of forest and sand defines, shelters and physically shapes Nida. The forests of the Curonian Spit, which so critically holds the very dunes protecting Nida in place, are here translated into a more fluid form and allowed to dissolve into the dunes.
DreamDune provides a series of social gathering space divided between the positive and negative dimensions of the structure. Capturing a route through the sand dunes, the external positive face acts as a timber amphitheatre to sit, play and gaze at the surrounding trees & stars. Underneath, in the negative plane, two seating booths sit diagonally opposed within the form, providing a more private social function and capturing two distinct views across the dunes.
DreamDune was a workshop held in Nida, Lithuania in the summer of 2016 - part of the 36th European Architecture Students Assembly (EASA 2016).
