Academic Work / May 2021
LOCATION Nature Conservation Centre Poda, Burgas, Bulgaria https://goo.gl/maps/bwK82pTUsEpGpsGJ8
TYPE Public / Educational / Recreational / Urban realm - A visitor centre with observatory tower and exhibiton spaces
BRIEF The principal design objective is to investigate and propose architecture that activates and sustains a state of change for a time frame of 50+ years.
PROJECT SUMMARY Located in the heart of Burgas city’s Wetlands area, the project involves a Visitor Centre building with Exhibition spaces, an Observation tower and an indoor Cafeteria.
It invites people to reconnect with nature by being submerged in its beauty while acknowledging the dangers that it faces. The building serves as a transition point between the main road E-87 and the existing Birdwatching centre, allowing passengers to take a slower approach to the city and observe the patterns of nature. The time spent there aims to improve their well-being and strengthen their connection and understanding of other species. The construction suggests a lifelong building cycle with materials whose sustainability lies in their durability and up-cycling capabilities.
TUTORS: Riccardo Marini, Loris Rossi “No one will protect what they don’t care about; and no one will care about what they have never experienced” - Sir David Attenborough
