B1+ SITE PROJECT- EXPANSION OF THE ARCH CLIMBING WALL FACILITY

by Sandi Nurpeissova

The project takes this opportunity to explore the connection with nature through architecture and vice versa. Since the purpose of the building is to serve as a climbing centre and by studying the factor that causes a human to climb, the building is designed to take the form of the majestic mountain range to resemble the original source of the inspiration that created the urge to climb in so many people. It is meant to be not only a building, but a tribute to climbing and a reminder of what it is that makes us conquer heights. Within its design it is meant to recreate the feeling of sublime caused by the beauty of nature. The message behind the project emphasizes nature over humanity as the huge mountain form sits on top the old factory building. It is also reflected in the environmentally friendly choice of materials for the construction of the complex structure.
