An issue that was intensively tackled
was the conjunction of the landscape and
the outer shell. We saw the earth
surface as an essential syntactic
element. The goal was to design a form
able to create exciting spaces. With a
ramp visitors can access a bar-cafe with
a spectacular view.
Our intention was to create a
ground-building that would give the
impression
hat it is born from the earth. Elements
of the construction are mixed with the
natural ground as it unfolds and assumes
them. The shell seems to become
inflated, torn and to define walkways
and spaces.
