By envisioning a time where the Earth is no longer fertile and humankind has moved to Mars, the team behind Brugga wanted to create a structure that could survive the wastelands. This multi-tiered tower is powered by the rituals of the Brugga witches - born from the Spanish word bruja for witch - intended as a means of rejuvenating the land. Covered in plants and replete with a water tank at the top, the tower can allow for self-sufficiency within a desolate land. But it’s also symbolic of much more, too, with individual sections dividing the structure, from the darker ‘cavern’ at the base that is surrounded by natural elements and where the witches will practice their rituals up to the top floor with a craft table.
