Woodland Cabin / AA Design and Make

The Woodland Cabin continues a lineage of buildings and research that has been shaping the Architectural Association’s Hooke Park campus for the last decade. Each year the Design and Make studio is formed by a cohort of students who integrate with and play a fundamental role in shaping the campus. Hooke Park is a 110-hectare forest located in Dorset, England. Students form an architectural practice together in order to design, manage and construct an addition to the campus’ growing network of experimental structures that began in the 1980s with two structures by Frei Otto. The project brief for the Woodland Cabin stated the need for an informal domestic space that could be relocated if needed.
