Divorced Reality is located in Kemeri Park and aims to change the way visitors understand and appreciate bogs. The design draws attention to the contrast between myths surrounding these landscapes and the beauty they hold. The visitor center serves as a key gathering point, encouraging exploration and education about the bog ecosystem. It promotes a journey from fear to understanding, inviting people to discover the unique qualities of this natural environment.

Visitor Functionality

The layout of the visitor center is designed to meet various needs. Covering an area of 410 m², it includes several functional spaces such as exhibition rooms, a restaurant, and areas for staff. At the entrance, a portal welcomes guests while dedicated rooms are set up for technical operations and administrative work. This organization supports an efficient experience for visitors and staff alike. The center serves not only as a place for information but also as a comfortable setting for people to engage with nature.

Environmental Considerations

Key to the design is a focus on protecting the environment. The visitor center enforces a ban on CO₂ gases within Kemeri Park, highlighting the importance of maintaining the health of the ecosystem. Bogs play an essential role in capturing CO₂, helping to keep the air clean. This focus on environmental responsibility informs visitors about the ecological significance of bogs and fosters a deeper understanding of the natural world around them.

Architectural Expression

The design connects with the surrounding landscape. The visitor center prioritizes functionality while integrating with its environment. Its layout seeks to create a welcoming atmosphere, encouraging a sense of connection to the outdoors. Attention to detail in the design helps the building blend with its surroundings, enhancing the character of Kemeri Park.

Visitors experience a variety of textures and colors as they explore both the center and the natural landscape. By thoughtfully integrating the building with the environment, the design emphasizes the importance of the bog ecosystem and provides a place for learning and contemplation.
