Reading room

Project idea

Klánovice, part of Prague, iconic with its lands with many trees on each of them. As we walked through Klánovice, the symbol was clear. I wanted to stick to this inspiration, so I came up with a tree as a shelter, a monument.

Project description

The aim of the visitors' art was not only a space for reading, where they can meet the neighbors, to relax a bit, but also an experience. The tree is complemented by small benches at different heights in the shape of pentagons.

Technical information

The construction is made of a steel skeleton and the whole tree is then covered with larch wood. The crown of the tree is solved by building membranes anchored to 3 branches. Several triangular holes are made in the trunk shell to form shelves in a construction where books can be hidden
