BuLa 2022: Life is about balance
In the Swiss Alps, 30 000 scouts get together at this very moment. It’s time of the national scout camp BuLa that only takes place every 14 years. With more than 30 000 scouts attending and camping at the gigantic event area of Goms Valley in Ulrichen, it truly moves Switzerland and beyond.
The theme of the national Jamboree 2022 is mova, in English “move”, which reminds that everything is in movement. During the two weeks’ event, the scouts get to challenge themselves and broaden their horizon through various activities that support the importance of complete wellbeing. Moving closer to each other.
Together with Hotz’n’Plotz Entertainment we designed and built a unique spot for CSS which is one of the main sponsors of the event. The concept is tied around balance – both mental and physical. There, the 9,5 meters high hut offers activities and workshops such as climbing and yoga.
The outer shape of the installation is following a form of a pentagonal dodecahedron. The elegant style of building consists only of a compressed beams and towing ropes. This structural system was invented by the visionary architect and inventor Buckminster Fuller under the name of tensegrity. The inner circle holds a platform for visitors to stand in while the outside structure invites to climbing experiences.

It is our very pleasure to get to cooperate in this project for such an important and special outdoor event that celebrates the movement of the youngsters while learning to respect and be one with the nature.
