IntentIon Program

the project considers stargazing not as the only purpose

but also as an excuse to create a different and isolated

place with recreational and entertainment aims. People,

and maybe especially children, should be able to move

inside and between the structure itself, being able to

climb, to sit down on different places and levels and

also laying down. and when it comes to enjoying the sky

views, one could do it from the inside, hanging from the

structure or in an upper platform.

the sIte

the site is in the edge of an open field in rindal. the field

is open to the south and closed to the north by several

rows of trees situated in the beginning of a steep slope

and on the slope itself. the main characteristics of this

place is the steep edge and the different openings among

the trees that surround a mainly flat area.

the concePt

It’s a small structure of human scale, since the children

are going to play there or adults could even exercise. It’s

something attractive from far away since it’s noticed like

a shelter but open to the field and the sky. the different

openings in the structure itself create different windows,

frames, towards the sky.

the project presents two very different ways of enjoying

the stars. also two different places that invite respective-

ly to play and to rest. the ‘inside’ or lower-covered part,

inviting to the movement and playing, and the upper and

completely open part where you can only sit or lay down

and enjoy the peace of the place. Being in the elevate

platform provides a calmer situation, being distant (at

least in a representative way) from the floor and other

people.
