Lake Las Vegas, Refuge for World Leaders

Part of an exercise seeking to offer an architectural refuge for world leaders to escape and debate, this competition concept evolved from earlier work relating to a RIBA Westminster Bridge competition.

Seen as an extension to the concept of pods of accommodation for British MPs on the proposed bridge, the Las Vegas desert retreat was envisaged as a sustainable environment where leaders could peacefully meet and debate the future of the planet.
