EVOLVER: Cool 720 Degree Continuous Turn Viewing Structure

Archive

Home? No. Cool? Yes. This spiral viewing structure built to savour the stunning panorama surrounding lake Stelli, Zermatt, is the joint effort of a group of students from ALICE studio, an architectural institute in Switzerland. Made completely in wood and supported by 24 twisted frames, the EVOLVER was designed to serve as both a destination and an activity for viewers touring Zermatt. As the viewer progresses through the space, a concealed but uninterrupted 720° movement is unraveling along a transformed panorama and with each step he gets a slightly different view of the landscape. evolver-viewing-structure Check out the video by ALICE team: (If you are reading this through email, you might need to visit this link to view the video: https://www.home-designing.com/2010/07/evolver) evolver-long-view evolver-short-view tone-adjusted viewing-structure-lake building-lake spiral-building inside-building inside-building-2 model model-0 model-2 model-last For a more comprehensive look at the construction of this structure, jump to the team's page.
