Yet another old project from the beginning of 2008. I started with diffent sorts of landscape analysis to know the area and then started to form a building that had to have the function of a nature center. I decided to place my building right next to the forest and in a bowl shaped area near a small stream. The area required some extra thoughts on the design and therefore my building is elevated above ground and is standing on pillars. My center consists of two buildings which are situated on a bridge. They are pulled apart and an area in the middle is a new room that can be used in extension of the two existing rooms inside. The small building contains a kitchen and an area, where you can sit and eat your food and participate in different workshops. The biggest building contains toilets and an exhibition area and can be used for presentations. The shape lifts up the building from the bowl shaped area. The bridge can have a lot of different activities outside and be a platform to new activities in the nature. My thoughts on materials: roof and facade in zinc and the bridge in a hardwearing wood.
