Object - an archetype, sending the viewer to the most ancient type of an antique construction of the Hellenistic period. It continues once the interrupted traditions of landscape gardening art of the period of romanticism, being shown in harmonious decoration of natural landscapes architecture works in the form of small thematic pavilions and arbors.

But instead of the picturesque park, as a background and a context, this structure is served by even more picturesque and a little brutal landscape once the thrown Soviet livestock farm which territory nowadays gradually develops, turning into active cultural space. The temple is located on a small natural eminence and focused by the portico on a spacious valley with the lake.

The pavilion is created within the architectural festival "GORODA 2012" which is taking place in the territory of space of "ARHFARM" in the village Nechayevsky vyselka of Tula region. As the main construction material used the pressed straw blocks. The choice of such unusual architectural concept is caused not only ecological reasons. On concepts of authors of the project, creation of monumental object from hay ideally answers the chosen PLACE (in the broadest sense of this word) and as much as possible approaches this object symbol, on visual perception and sincere feeling, to its archaic prototypes.
