Today the dream of sustainable development applied to the urban context needs a redefinition. In the search for new answers, we intend to shift our gaze from the traditional forms of the urban fabric to that of the accommodation facilities of outdoor tourism, which for their characteristics combine the issues of living in contexts characterized by the prevalence of natural elements. The sustainability of these structures seems an intrinsic value, but the growing awareness of environmental issues related to climate change and the protection of ecosystems leads to design experiences based on new models of land use and landscape design. Through three case studies defined through research by design method, we intend to promote new forms of settlements that, starting from the experience of outdoor tourism, can represent new urban structures capable of protecting, enhancing and caring for the environment and the landscape in which they are located. The projects are based on the use of maxi-caravans as housing units, the most used solution to date to promote green issues that differ in terms of themes addressed and the contexts in which they are inserted.
