El Cósmico comes to revolutionize the concept of glamping and promises to provide the best experience of its kind. The concept of glamping is a combination of the words “glamour” and “camping”. It refers to a way of camping that offers comforts and luxuries similar to those of a hotel, but with an experience closer to nature.
A diferencia del camping tradicional, donde los campistas suelen dormir en tiendas de campaña y tener acceso limitado a comodidades básicas, el glamping proporciona una variedad de opciones de alojamiento más sofisticadas y confortables. Estos pueden incluir tiendas de spacious and well equipped tents, log cabins, geodesic domes, vintage caravans, teepees or even more extravagant structures such as tree houses or transparent bubbles.
The location of the glamping is also essential. Glamping sites are usually located in natural impressive environments such as national parks, forests, beaches, mountains or nature reserves, allowing campers to enjoy the beauty and tranquility of nature without having to give up modern conveniences.

Glamping has grown in popularity in recent years because it combines the adventure of camping with the luxury and comfort of high-quality accommodation. In addition, glamping has also attracted people with no previous camping experience, as it offers a more accessible and comfortable way to enjoy life in the great outdoors.
This unique concept has evolved so much that the Danish architecture studio Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), the company specialized in 3D construction technologies, ICON, and the creator of the idea, Liz Lambert have decided to build in Marfa, Texas, El Cósmico, a first class glamping located in the desert, offering its guests an experience based on the ‘unique connection between the high desert landscape and cosmic organizations’. Its architecture of domes and smooth lines is absolutely avant-garde, combining art, nature and luxury hotel services.
What is the novelty of El Cósmico?
That it is built entirely in 3D. Some time ago, 3D printing was simply a hobby for enthusiasts who mainly used it to create small parts or prototypes. However, with the advancement of technology, it is now possible to print larger and more complex objects. One of the great feats of 3D printing has been the construction of houses using this technology.

3D printing technology has proven to be an innovative tool in various fields, including construction. By using specialized 3D printers, it is possible to create architectural structures more efficiently and with numerous benefits: reduced construction time and waste, and above all, solidity, since it can be 350% more resistant than constructions made with traditional methods.
El Cósmico covers an area of 250,000 m2 where organic architecture will prevail in the middle of the desert, blending in with its circular houses and colors of the earth. The minimalist houses designed by BIG will have two, three and four rooms and their measurements will fluctuate between 111 and 205 m2.
New concepts for new times with innovative techniques that will undoubtedly revolutionize the glamping experience. The development seems to be ready in 2024 but from this 2023 Booking accepts reservations.
