Creatura: A floating mill created by children

Creature in the middle of the lake.

Last summer, architecture students Federico Forestiero and Mark Torrens at Beam camp for children in New Hampshire, together with them, built a floating structure, the floating mill "creatura", whose photos flooded the Internet.

A floating structure they called "creature" was created at a summer camp for children Beam camp. It is just under 5 meters tall and glides like a living creature on the surface of the lake. It is built from combinations of knitted materials. The central and largest part of the abortion is occupied by the organic knitted formation, which represents the covered part of the raft, next to which is the wheel that generates energy to propel the raft. Simple, yet complex, the inspiring floating whole is a display of ingenuity, skill, creative and useful leisure time.

Children created Creatura at a summer camp under the guidance of two architects: Federico Forestier and Mark Torrens.
