Reading room

Idea projektu

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.

Popis projektu

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.

Technické informácie

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

Reading room

Hi Marie, This is a delightful little project that has so many applications. In addition to being used in parks, I can see this in urban areas where natural trees may not exist or the conditions are difficult for vegetation to grow. This would also open the opportunity to possibly using photovoltaics in the membranes to power lighting for the immediate area for security or landscape lighting.
