About Competition
Challenge: to design a vernacular bird watching tower in the unique setting of the Chester Meadows.
How can humans occupy spaces that inspire harmony with the natural environment? What can we, as designers, do to accomplish this and create architecture that avoids the destruction of the natural world while also benefitting our environmental impact?
We now live in a world where architecture takes valuable resources and causes the destruction of the natural environment. We are looking for a design scheme that builds a connection between humans and nature and gives back to our natural surroundings, rather than only taking from them.
Our brief asks for an innovative and creative design focusing on the user experience and connection to the surrounding nature and wildlife with a minimal environmental impact. The challenge is to create a sustainable and 100% natural structure that sits peacefully within the meadows and allows both humans and birds to share the same space.
The tower should provide a viewing space for city dwellers to temporarily leave their hectic city lives to reconnect and interact with nature.
