HALAILLA LUONTOA

Team Point of View

Upon an isle where nature‘s hand
Did weave a tapestry of sand,
A wondrous place of quaint design,
Where culture and the wild align.
With tourist gems of tiny size,
Each structure, a sweet surprise,
Where nature‘s gifts, a guiding force,
Create a realm of true discourse.
Amidst the foliage, tall and grand,
A tree stands tall, a beacon‘s hand,
Its branches cradle dwellings small,
A symphony of life in thrall.
A bridge of stone, with moss adorned,
Where rushing streams have once meandered,
A testament to nature‘s touch,
As structures blend, they never clutch.
So come, explore this magic isle,
Where culture and the earth compile,
A testament to unity,
In nature‘s grasp, we all agree.
Let‘s cuddle in nature,
Let‘s cuddle with nature.

Jury Point of View

The name of the proposal describes the approach taken. The proposal calls for harmony between nature and man and offers nice ways to achieve this. The nature is the foundation of everything, and its respect is essential when developing solutions for the future. The structures for recreational use have a minimal impact and footprint on the ground level. Solutions for different recreational use, such as playgrounds, saunas and dry toilets, are presented through a carefully studied palette. The character of the architecture is vernacular and very simple. Larger-scale elements are well integrated into the landscape, though almost monumental, while smaller elements are hidden within nature.
