This graduate assignment deals with ecological camping and extracts the key elements of an eco camp to include them into the design of the new camp Zlatorog. The main goal of this assignment is developing a plan to renew camp Zlatorog in a way that would solve its current spatial issues related to tenting and camping, parking lots and the arrangement of swimming facilities while emphasizing sophisticated landscape design solutions and sustainable area design. The primary motive of eco tourism is study, education, and admiration of the natural environment, so for this type of tourism the selected activities are those that influence the environment the least. The number of guests is reduced to 300 in respect to the current limit as such a space does not support mass tourism. This assignment offers a long term solution for the management and development of this area through the analysis of selected examples of protected areas and subsequent analysis of the state of the space. The space connects the area into a unified whole through the use of details: anchoring buildings on trees, establishment of boardwalk paths and the selection of appropriate point foundation, which enables the minimum touch with the ground, and enables the development of new activities on the ground while ensuring a complete user experience. An effective remediation plan based on the selection of natural materials and the redesign of the space reduces or solves the issues that arise. The assignment closes with a new plan of the eco camp that abides the laws and regulations for the design of recreational areas: offers tenting on raised wooden platforms and tree houses, preserves the possibility of tenting, gives access to water to all users of the area, not just guests of the camp.
