reTH!NKING annuncia il lancio del concorso di idee Pamukkale Landscape Observatory per creare un luogo dove il paesaggio assume un ruolo di fondamentale importanza.
La natura è potente e alcuni posti sono unici, irripetibili, irreali. L'essere umano ha il dovere di prendersene cura con delicatezza e rispetto, soprattutto nel campo dell'architettura. Ci si chiede, quindi, come sia possibile intervenire su un paesaggio spettacolare come il "castello di cotone" oggetto del concorso, facendo in modo che la natura assuma un ruolo importante nel progetto architettonico.
Il progetto deve dar vita a un luogo unico, capace di dare identità alla zona e trasformare l'enclave in un punto di riferimento per la protezione dell'ambiente che pone la necessità di prendersi cura dell'equilibrio esistente. La proposta dovrà dialogare con il paesaggio e la natura e raccontare ai visitatori di questo particolare angolo di natura.
reTH!NKING team is delighted to introduce the new competition: Pamukkale Landscape Observatory, a competition which pretends to create a place where landscape is of great interest.
Nature is powerful and some places are unique, unrepeatable, sometimes unreal and can be anywhere. The human being has as sole duty to take care of it with the utmost delicacy and respect, especially in this field: architecture.
Once again we wonder how we can intervene in a landscape as spectacular as this, where water, white color and texture make this "cotton castle" a unique enclave that almost looks like a movie from another planet.
Nature plays an important role in an architectural project, it is more than a base or a landscape to look at, it is the cornerstone on which we base all development, thought and materiality. Architecture is the way that humans have to transform a place, but this can not distract from the need to reflect what we must contribute to improve that space without provoking the opposite effect. Therefore, intervening in nature raises the need to propose solutions with the utmost delicacy and in harmony with their environment.
The project is linked to nature and its research and observation. Although it is a place where any intervention of these characteristics can be of great impact, the way of locating and dialoguing with the environment will be evaluated.
The project must be a unique place that produces its own identity in the area and turns the enclave into a landmark of environmental protection that proposes a need to take care of the existing environmental balance. The proposal must dialogue with the landscape and nature and that relates its visitors with this particular environment.
