The two cylinders generates light inputs from all winds. Creating a battle between

light and shadow reflections to cover the curved walls. I take a few steps forward and a distant and intriguing light from the

water-filled mine shaft appears.”

A strong breeze catches my hair while I gently balance myself further. The noise of

the sea hitting the cliffs and the gurgling sound of the sea gulls surrounds me. I step out onto the red clad pavilion, mounted on

a rigid grid pattern with wooden ribs shaped in various soft curves”

In resemblance to the shimmering water surface, the surrounding metal mesh glimmers just as when

the sea is illuminated by the sun’s rays and is constant in motion to

the sea breezes. Reminiscent to the low transparency below surface, the mesh spreads a soft light over the passage leading one

down below surface in a square formation.”

III. THE SCIENCE COMMUNITY V.

Within the square ”shell”, the buildings are sheltered from all kind of wind, necessary for the glass facades and the light wooden framework they consist of. As I’m closing up on the larger building, the workstation, the old foundation appears, a remaining of

the former building that used to serve as home for the miners. Ones again the wooden strips makes themselves reminiscent
