Reverse perspective

The Reverse Perspective project, designed by A.team.arch, is an innovative public space object situated in the beautiful Botanical Garden of Saint Petersburg, Russia. This project has been developed as part of the Rewoodlution festival, aiming to not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of the garden but also to provide a functional space for visitors. The design comprises two distinct cubic volumes, each contributing to the overall vision of the space.

One of the most striking aspects of the Reverse Perspective project is its external cube, which is intentionally designed to create a reverse perspective effect. This artistic choice challenges conventional architectural forms and invites visitors to engage with the space in a new way. In contrast, the internal perspective of the structure is enhanced, creating a welcoming atmosphere that draws visitors in. The thoughtful design ensures that every angle offers a unique visual experience, encouraging exploration and interaction.

Inside the object, visitors will find comfortable seating arrangements, providing a perfect spot to rest and enjoy the surrounding nature. Additionally, the structure offers temporary rain shelter, making it a practical addition to the garden. This feature is particularly beneficial for visitors looking to enjoy the garden even during unpredictable weather. The materials used in the construction, including laminated veneer lumber and pine lumber, reflect a commitment to sustainability and harmony with nature.

The roof cover made of polycarbonate not only contributes to the modern aesthetic of the project but also allows natural light to filter through, illuminating the interior space. The dimensions of the object, measuring 3600 x 4000 x 3200 mm, are carefully considered to fit seamlessly within the lush landscape of the Botanical Garden. The interplay between the structure and its natural surroundings highlights the importance of context in architectural design.

The talented team behind this project includes Anna Bormatova, Alena Bitkolova, Alyona Avershina, Anton Balakhnin, Alexandrina Levandovskaya, Elena Pupysheva, Zhanna Nugerbekova, Anastasiya Okhryamkina, Fedor Scherbakov, and Daniil Vyazemskiy. Their collaborative effort showcases the potential of modern architecture to create spaces that are not only visually stunning but also enrich the experience of the public. The Reverse Perspective project stands as a testament to innovative design and the importance of integrating architecture with nature.
