A good idea for this past winter (with only three weeks in Spain). This shack called "unavilability" and designed by Gartnerfuglen, a young architecture studio in Norway, is completely portable and can be erected in just 30 seconds by one or two people. This shack, or mobile fisherman’s hut that is filled up with water to create ice walls, provide shelter for a single inhabitant.

It is a bit oppressive and there’s only room for one person.
