the Platforms
one aspect of the stargazing structure is
the continuous journey with a surprise at
the end. seven platforms spiral around
the core and reach a hight of 3,8 meters.
every platform has a unique shape and
opens up different perspectives of the
building and the core. here there are
also several wooden information boards
where you can read about the sky. the
last platform is a net where you lay down
comfortably and focus on the stars. this
creates a space that the people of rindal
probably never have experienced before.
the platforms are not only the means
to reach the top but function also
as a roof for the sitting space, wood
storage and platforms underneath.
the construction of the platforms
were mainly prefabricated in the
woodworkshop and after they were put
in place, the membrane and cladding
were added. the main challenges
were the angles of the frames of
the platforms as they had to be very
precise in order to fit between the main
structure and the aligned core.
