IntentIon Program

the Idea of stargazing in an informal way opens up the way

for a new interpretation and appreciation of the sky taking into

account all the possibilities and flexibility that its scale, daylight

situations and changeing morphology brings to the table in

relation with the personal perception. so it is a place where

the space has different ways of being used, creating multiple

scenaios to relate to the sky. the image tells us about a space

where nature and contemplation fuses creating a place where

its both introvert and extrovert. Inspired by this drawn “users”

with an ambigous shape where you can either see them looking

up to the sky away of each other into the sky or looking down to

the fire looking towards each other. some people can use the

sky as a focus point for a personal moment to have a spiritual

reflection or as a backdrop for far grater social moments and

imagination.

sIte

the location is in the edge of an open field in the town of rindal

with a wonderful open sky view towards the south opening the

possibilities for the best night sky views as well as the sun

positioning, the site runs along with a backside of pines and

spruces and fantastic views towards the mountains.

desIgn

the idea of creating a space in connection with the stars, for

the entire town to enjoy was the main focus. so taking into

account the need of different spaces and proposing a new way

of looking towards the sky was planned. decomposing the

program into two different spaces with an articulating element

to united them and bring flexibility of uses. the Pavilions where

divided into an extroverted space and a introverted equivalent

space. the Introverted pavilion is where a new way to look at the

stars is introduced to the town of rindal, a calm, clean space

with a water mirror where instead of looking up to he sky you

would look down into the stars reflection and see them through

water which is actually composed by the oldest element in

the universe, hydrogen, giving a new censorial and magical

perception of the sky and creating an atmosphere for self

reflexion. the extroverted pavilion is build around the fireplace

and its social uses, this pavilion is bigger and has sitting for

people to engage. this pavilion has a second floor where a more

thecnical way to enjoy the stars with binoculvars is introduced,

the structure itself raises a wall creating a screen to cover the

light pollution from the fire and direct like a chimney the smoke

away from the field of view towards the north. the articulating

Pergola Is proposed a light structure that will create a

morphologic plane to sew both pavilions together.this will be

a place for rindal to have a flexible structure to perform social

events, se up markets and stages giving more uses and users

to the site having the stars as a backdrop, or secondary actor to

the event, but never the less bringing it into the scene.
