Being inspired by the geological process of large-scaled movements of the earth?s crust and its tectonic forces, Polour Rock Climbing Hall evinces through its initial concept. By considering the nature as the principal theme, the form stems from the origin and responds to function immediately and simultaneously. This is a place and time where Concept as a form, Context as the nature and Content as an activity, meet each other immediately and break the silence of environment and at the heart of this project is the mutual interaction between these three factors which having the privilege of such precious occasion, they have been frozen in the moment.
Therefor context blends with the activity and form. We call it an achievement in this design when the natural-based form melts in the nature and activity. As an achievement the architecture desires to be 1- Generous and demanding 2- Memorable 3- Interactive 4- Sustainable The building pushes itself out of the layers of the crust, stems from the land. Rises, peaks and gradually moves down in its mountainous backdrop. You can sleep under the big tent, have a coffee inside the cave and also experience everything as hikers do.
