Fleeting Retreat Project

 

‘The Nottingham Shipping Shelter: A Fleeting Retreat’ was a purposely built pavilion for Ecobuild 2011, where it received the runner up prize for sustainable stands awarded by the Green Building Council UK. A team of 15 students coordinate by Guillermo Guzman led the design that used shipping pallets as the main building material. The Nottingham City Council invited the team to rebuild the pavilion in the Nottingham Castle grounds and to be part of its “Light Night” event. Guillermo Guzman has since presented the project at two national conferences.
