Natural Campsite is a project launched by the Chinese design studio Wiki-World.Developed on the outskirts of the popular Chinese city of Wuhan, it was born to serve as a field of experiments with prefabricated wooden structures to advance the techniques of this type of construction.In addition, it is also a campus where construction courses are open to both the local community and university students, with the ultimate goal of offering interested people alternatives to pursue sustainable lifestyles.One of the new experiments that has been carried out there has been carried out by Wiki-World and Advanced Architecure Lab. This consisted of adding three new cabins to the complex, which have been nicknamed Forest Cabin in a generic way, although each of them receives its own name: Flying Cube, Magic Cube and Cube Bricks.It is a set of new houses that playfully employ unique shapes and materials.The designers interviewed local families for guidance, prompting them to imagine living in nature.According to the studies, the children commented that the cabins of this type looked like toys lost in the forest, and that was the basis on which these cabins were created.With about 80 m2 each, the three prefabricated buildings are built with wood extracted from the area.In addition, to protect the environment, although the cabins are very close to each other, they have been built conserving their own protective environment of trees.That toy aspect with which children associated this type of construction is evident inside and out.The Flying Cube is a reflective tree house, elevated 4.5 meters above the ground and accessible via a ladder.The area below the structure acts as a covered gathering space with a fireplace to one side.Its interior consists of a simple wooden space with a lofted sleeping net.Two large windows open to let in fresh air, while a terrace offers elevated views of neighboring cabins.Magic Cube and Cube Bricks are built from modular wooden blocks and fit together like Legos to form the structures.Cube Bricks features a modest living room with a central wood burning stove and a sleeping loft with a view of the trees.Outside, a porch is large enough to fit two chairs.Magic Cube can be expanded to create new spaces with two paneled wings.One acts as an extended entryway while the other adds a covered porch.A large sliding glass door opens into the living room, which is a quaint area that mirrors the other two cabins.The cabins in the forest were built for educational purposes and as fun and playful structures.Without a doubt, with them it has been possible to give shape to that feeling expressed by the little ones, creating a space that allows the imagination of those who visit it to fly.In recent months, as a consequence of the pandemic caused by the coronavirus and facilitated by the extension of teleworking, there are not a few who have decided to move away from the big cities to bet on a calmer life and away from the dizzying pace that prevails in them.Some even take it much more to heart and decide to retire to really remote places, to opt for a much calmer way of life in harmony with nature.For those who opt for the latter option, there are perfect alternatives in the form of low-cost mini-houses or prefabricated houses, but with endless comforts, in which sustainability is one of the fundamental pillars.Dorset is one of the 47 counties into which England is divided, and it is an excellent place to build a cabin in which to isolate yourself to enjoy the countryside and the rural world, something that many decided to do with the arrival of the pandemic that, little by little, it subsides.One of them is The Bide, a small minimalist cabin that is the fruit of a collaboration between Scott, an architect with the London-based studio LAMA, and Caroline, who works for the Nordic design brand Åben.Built almost entirely by hand, it is undoubtedly an attractive and suggestive place to spend at least a few holidays.The tourist group has put its 14 Be Live hotels up for sale to be able to pay the debt contracted with Banco Santander, which has asked it to catch up with the payments.The sale of the hotels has been entrusted to Banco Santander itself and, with it, Globalia could obtain some 500 million euros.The company is also in the process of selling its Air Europa airline to Iberia.The online furniture firm Hannun will jump to BME Growth with a total valuation of more than 31.58 million euros, at a price of 1.01 euros per share, which places it in the upper band of the established range , as reported to the Spanish Stock Exchanges and Markets (BME).This decision has been adopted after evaluating, on the one hand, the volume and quality of the demand registered in the subscription offer and, on the other, in order to give the share a run when its listing on BME Growth begins.Suomma is a company of Spanish origin that joins the fractional purchase or co-ownership model.Like its competitors, this company offers eight shares of each of the second homes it has in its portfolio through the formation of an SL But in this case it differs by its price (between 50,000 and 80,000 euros per share) and by the possibility of being able to rent the days or weeks that the owner cannot enjoy.The Governing Council of the European Central Bank (ECB) has met urgently to discuss the situation of the markets after the sharp upturn in the yields required of the bonds of peripheral countries, including Italy and Spain.After the appointment, he reiterated his commitment to act against the risks of fragmentation in the eurozone and announced that he will be flexible when it comes to reinvesting the maturities of his debt portfolio corresponding to the anti-pandemic program (PEPP).The Ministry of Transport, Mobility and Urban Agenda (MITMA) hopes that in the coming weeks all the autonomies will launch the calls to request Next Generation European funds for the rehabilitation of homes and residential

1,100 million euros to guarantee up to 50% of the financing of the actions, which will be approved in the coming weeks.
