PHASE 2: BIRDWATCHING
IN RINDAL
The main challenge with Anja`s project was to improve functionality
when it came to birdwatching. This had to be done without ruining
the delicate aesthetics and proportions contained in the initial scetch
project.
Out of the three original screens, two were removed entirely. Only the
main screen remained, and had to go through some rigorous changes;
it was angled more towards the north-west, in order to optimize the
viewing direction. Also the number of structural frames was changes
to 11.
A birdwatching platform was added at the upper part of the structure.
The inclusion of this platform had to be done in a sensitive way, in
harmony with the rest of the construction. This platform does not
go all the way to the edges of the project and can be reached by a
ladder. The proportions in the characteristic section were only slightly
modified, and work had begun on the structural joints.
Later on the ladder was replaced by a stair, in order to make the
platform more accessible.
