Moving towards the future, we must analyze our actions and achievements. I have attempted to create an architecture inscribed in the genius loci of this place. Architecture that will identify with the environment but most importantly encourage to integration and reflection.
The main assumption of the project was to create open architecture, which will also be restrained, while leaving space for landscape display, which, together with the surrounding area, will evoke various feelings, most of all provokes function, construction and form to think about the natural environment and its transformations as provoked by the area itself. The proposed facility is to be an attractive place both in terms of form and function, both for people staying inside and for those who from outside will admire the natural values of the surrounding area. The main point of the designed building is the open space inside the solid. Designed mostly as a steel and glass structure over the slope of the cliff. The floor above the chasm is made of glass mounted on a steel construction. The impression of a glass floor is enhanced by the facade on the cliff side made completely of structural glass. Moreover, according to the architectural concept, elements of permanent exposure illustrating the history of the mine and the origin of a unique place are designed inside and outside the building. Moving towards the future, we must analyze our actions and achievements. I have attempted to create an architecture inscribed in the genius loci of this place. Architecture that will identify with the environment but most importantly encourage to integration and reflection.
