Technické informace

The project adds new experiences for the user by creating suspended bridges and platforms that have removable shelters that are implemented seasonally. The user is allowed multiple of paths and circulation options for different "scenarios" and experiences in sub terrains, underground experiences and suspended in the air, all of which are taking into consideration the environmental factors in the Dead Sea. Implementing windcatchers in which the user is able to fell the breeze from the sea into the wind catchers and into their sleeping pods for a better environmental control. Extending the existent hiking trail to make it into a loop rather than a one way to enrich the experience underground and above ground so the user will get introduced to the flora and fauna more extensively.
