Competition Innatur 4: nature interpretation centre
Конкурс проходит уже в четвертый раз. Его идея заключается в том, чтобы найти некое место в охраняемой природной среде, которое бы вызывало чувство единения с природой. И создать архитектурный объект, который бы вторил этим чувствам, отражал «дух места», а говоря архитектурным языком – находился в связи с контекстом.
Основные цели Центра распространения знаний о природе – исследовать, сохранить, развить и укрепить природный памятник – место, в котором он расположен. Кроме исследовательской, Центр будет нести и образовательную функцию, стремясь донести до посетителей историческую, культурную и природную ценность этого объекта. Кроме того, здесь также должен иметься мини-хостел.
Участники должны сами выбрать место расположения своего проекта, а свой выбор – обосновать.
The main function of an Interpretation Centre is to promote a creative learning environment, seeking to reveal to the visitors the significance of cultural or historical heritage of the object exposed, in order to increase consciousness and motivate its effective conservation. They are designed to cover four basic functions: research, conservation, promotion and enhancement of the object they are dedicated to. Interpreting is the art of presenting to the public an entity; to inform, entertain and motivate knowledge. The purpose of interpretation is giving the visitor a better understanding of why and in what sense a place or an object is important.
The main objectives are the following:
To encourage innovative proposals that are committed to a strategy of implementing cutting-edge, contemporary architecture in a protected natural environment, with approaches that lead to synergies between the context and the building itself.
To convene ideas of spaces that promote a deep understanding and assimilation of nature. Projects must lead through their architecture to sensitivity, awareness, understanding, enthusiasm and commitment to the natural environment around them.
This open ideas competition does not refer to any particular location but to a generalized situation. Each participant or team will define the location of their Project; such as: natural parks, protected natural areas, forests, jungles, beaches, mountains, etc. However, the proposal must justify the choice of the location and the interaction reached between the project and the site’s environment. Being one of the purposes of this competition the search on the diversity of projects and their particular situations, we hope that the variety of global natural environments is enriching for it.
