ARC: a tribute at Roman triumphal arch. by Bernaskoni Architect
Project: ARCFunction: building-landscape object Place: Russia, Kaluga region, Nikola-Lenivets Year: 2012 Client: Nikola-Lenivets Size: 12 x 6 x 13,2 m Cost, $: 140.000 Materials: wooden timber Status: realization
ARC is on the border between the forest and the field. The building is 13 meters high. The foundation of the welded construction is arranged on reinforced concrete piles.
The wooden elements (beams and crops) are stacked one above the other with gaps forming rooms and stairs leading to the observation point on the roof.
ARC is both an art object that space can have multiple functions: lodge, apartments, bars, information center. It can also be the main entrance to the park or a view.
ARC should grow old together with the surrounding forest: the wood darkens with time and becomes covered with moss, grass and shrubs close to the ground.
