HOSPITALITY

In the Ancient Greece, XENIA was an

sacred RELATIONSHIP whereby refreshment and hospitality to the stranger for the night was a custom of undeniable civilization. This practice was focused on three main requirements: 1_ RESPECT by the host to the guest 2_ respect by the guest to the host 3_ delivery of a "PARTING GIFT" to the guest by the host

TUS

The way we travel has changed, we live and work IN MOTION, and this new form of NOMADISM or HUMAN TRANSHUMANCEintroduced mobility as permanent condition.

This widespread and increasingly rapid shift has therefore raised the question of being able to quickly ADAPT THE AREA to the needs of intermittently flow.

TUS

Today, offering hospitality can therefore define a new NEED/EMERGENCY. through the development of innovative solutions, under the terms of

TEMPORARINESS and

SUSTAINABILITY, we may relieve the touristic congestion that many towns living in some periods of the year. It may become the new instrument to ADD VALUES to

the territory or CATALYST of additional events.

CATALYST

TUS

This "ephemeral meeting" is to host a guest in a light way and respectful of the

SOCIO-CULTURAL TRADITIONthrough a predisposition to FLEXIBILITY.

Design Camping stimulates responses to temporary, light, REVERSIBLE needs, as indeed is evidenced by the practice of camping.

Hospitality may result in PARTICIPATIONto planning and communication since the host, as the PUBLIC LAND, is the town itself, rather than a single subject.

It therefore raises the need to give the values of design and INNOVATION to the projects that are fundamental elements of the IDENTITY of the city itself.

LOW COST

To break the association of “design” hospitality and BOUTIQUE HOTELS, stimulating design experiments in which the design of products, environments and services focus solutions like LOW COST
