The description provided by the project team indicates that the architectural concept of the primitive cabin has its roots in Vitruvius. This idealized model of natural housing had a great impact on architectural theory during the 18th century, notably through Marc-Antoine Laugier.
Those responsible for the project express fascination with the construction process of cabins and the simple and transient lifestyle they suggest. The main focus of interest lies in the uniqueness of these structures in relation to their location and how individuals interact with and experience the surrounding environment.
