Țara Hațegului International UNESCO Geopark. Territorial diversity path.
6th year project
Universitatea Politehnica Timisoara
”A fog layer is placed between the visitor and the landscape. Transparency, light, reflection, landmark... A collection of reinterpreted elements from the territory at the site scale. ”
The project, the central object of Țara Hațegului Unesco International Geopark, is in essence a collection of elements from the territory reinterpreted at the site scale, which aim to interact with the psyche of the visitor. The project is not a building, but rather a small scale route of experiences, a carefully built route through a microcosmos which offers feelings. It hides in the landscape. They start working together. The building has no boundaries. It is both interior and exterior in the same time. The architecture is free, and the space becomes a heterotopia.
The proposed program theme is not a simple materialization of an idea, but, like the landscape in Ţara Hațegului, it is a collection of interspersed ideas. In this way, the proposed ensemble, consisting of three functions, tries to respond to the immaterial needs of the landscape and become part of it, by using the architectural, structural and detailed elements to strengthen the basic idea of the project.
