BARK is calling for submissions

As the next stage of its global campaign, BARK is designing a 420 square foot, fully outfitted cabin for the 21st century — mobile, self-contained, low-impact, smart, tough, cool, and all Canadian. Based on the ISO container format, it can be transportable to any place in the world.  When it gets to its destination the contents won’t be unloaded, instead the entire shipment will unfold, deploy, and spread its wings to become the All Terrain Cabin (ATC).

Inside and out, will be the best of Canada, in design, materials, products, and technology.

The ATC will be a mobile Canadian showcase for design and technology embedded in a real, functioning habitable environment. It will be a working example of Canadian ingenuity and support the perspective of live/work/play. Crucially, it can be located anywhere, unplugged and off the grid, leaving minimal impact upon its removal and relocation. The ATC will be equally at home in the wilderness, in the city, at an international contemporary design forum, or a consumer home and interiors show.

The ATC will be completed this summer and shipped to Tokyo in late September 2005.  If you would like your products to be considered for inclusion in this project, BARK must have information expressing your interest and proposed product contribution by June 15, and your selected products must be delivered to BARK in Vancouver by July 15.
