Mimicking Nature: A Look Through Point, springs from the need to enjoy the views of Mount Nemrut’s delicate landscape in a dynamic space. Unlike most look out points where the need to experience danger as well as the landscape comes with using strong steel beams for cantilevering over edges, this project aims at doing the complete opposite. It provides a soft abstract space that looks like an ephemeral object in the landscape, overlooking the immense caldera.
The structure hovers above the crater and the light transparent mesh shell allows views not only from it but through it, thus blurring the boundaries between built space and environment. It mimics the delicateness and elegant unevenness of the landscape.
