5 key facts about this project
## Overview
Located at Lake Pape, the Landscraper project integrates architectural design with the region's natural environment. The initiative responds to the dynamic characteristics of the lake, promoting interaction with the local ecology while emphasizing functional utility. The design concept aims to facilitate a deeper understanding and appreciation of the landscape through deliberate engagement with its surroundings.
### Spatial Interaction
The Landscraper encourages exploration along its length, allowing visitors to shift their perspective from land to water. The varying elevations and interconnected platforms offer distinctive vantage points for observing local wildlife and marshlands. The design prioritizes minimal disturbance to the environment, using segmented structures connected by flexible hinges to adapt to environmental conditions. Key dimensions include platforms ranging from 2.9 to 7.7 meters above the water level, promoting dynamic viewing experiences as users navigate through the space.
### Material Composition
Careful selection of materials underpins both the aesthetic and functional aspects of the design. Reed cladding provides a natural appearance while optimizing insulation and blending with the landscape. Durable wooden flooring complements the ecological context, while repurposed shipping containers establish a sustainable framework. An innovative underwater floating system minimizes disruption to the lakebed, ensuring a stable foundation for the structure. This strategic use of materials reflects a commitment to sustainability and ecological sensitivity in architectural design.
