A school project unlike any other comes to fruition with the Blue Nomad floating habitat, a collaboration between the pupils of the Institut auf dem Rosenberg, a private boarding school in St Gallen, Switzerland, and Danish designers SAGA Space Architects.
Blue Nomad is a self-sufficient solar floating habitat, taken from conceptual sketch to prototype stage by a whole-school effort that encompasses practically every discipline and subject. ‘When our students work on projects and have the opportunity to physically create something, then the learning experience is so much better,’ says Bernhard Gademann, president of Institut auf dem Rosenberg.
