About the project
The building of the bird watching tower stands within the natural environment, away from any architectural facilities. Only nature can become an integral part of a natural landscape, but architecture’s nature is classics. That’s why the author suggests establish a classical peripter with a Doric order like colonnade. The stylobate is the first watching platform, and the second one is located at the second level, working as some kind of a volumetric friso.
