OBSERVATION POINT

VISITORS ARRIVING AT THE OBSERVATION POINT SHOULD UNDERSTAND THEIR ROLE AND THE MEANING BEHIND THE STRUCTURE’S NAME. THE CONCRETE PIT CONTRASTS WITH THE LANDSCAPE, BUT ITS UNDERGROUND PLACEMENT MAKES SURE IT’S AN ACCESSORY, NOT A DOMINANT. INSIDE, WATER FLOWS DOWN THE INCLINED WALL INTO A SINK, AND ITS SOUND HELPS THE VISITOR TO CONTEMPLATE. A VERTICAL OPENING THROUGH ALL LEVELS KEEPS A CONNECTION TO NATURE, AVOIDING ISOLATION. THE FALLING WATER SUGGESTS THE SPACE HAS ITS OWN LIFE, INDEPENDENT OF HUMAN PRESENCE. ON THE OTHER HAND, THE WATER IN THE SINK IS MAINLY FOR THE VISITOR. THE ONLY THING LEFT WHEN THEY GET TO THE BOTTOM IS TO TAKE A LOOK AT THEIR OWN REFLECTION.
