The winning design for the biodiversity centre Artenoah, will be built in the middle of a series of highlands. The landscape is designed by dense forests, small urbanizations, agriculture and pasture areas. On a site visit, we watched the birds directed by group intelligence, collecting a flock and overflowing the plateau of the site. We projected the lines of the birds’ movements on the agricultural site of the Wagnersberg and redrew them in our proposal.
Starting with these lines we developed a complete concept of a building with outdoor spaces and achieve a complete integration into the landscape. After climbing up the hill, you will first meet the restaurant with the famous Franconian food, which offers views to the nature park Fichtelgebirge from its terrace. From the foyer of the building, you will enter the exhibition area by crossing a kaleidoscope, introducing the visitors into a world of biodiversity.
