The Ramsar complex is the result of overlapping the diagram of a bridge and a hut, reminiscent of a historical desire to reside above the forest trees. This aspiration needs to be reconsidered today under different circumstances. How could we suspend seven huts above the forest in a way that they have no contact with the ground? How could we ensure public access to the forest for individuals who do not rent the cabins?
The solution to these challenges lies within the distinctive attributes of the forest itself: its narrowness and being surrounded by two asphalt levels. Consequently, we have devised a bridge that traverses the forest space, like a promenade, creating a secondary ground for the landing of the huts during their back-and-forth movement.
