The Forest of Order
Site: German Pine Forest Program: A house for Sculptures Order: Light Over heavy Focus: Light and Order Project Length: 3 weeks
Nestled deep in a pine forest in Germany this building was houses four statues by Georg Kolbe.
The building was designed in the language of a pine tree with a structural but light bottom and a visually heavy top made of small light elements. Light was allowed to enter in gaps in the buildings upper “foliage”.
The plan is organized on a grid pursuing the feeling of the forest with an open forest of wooden columns framing the statues dawn and dusk.
