Assignment: New construction of a water reservoir and observation tower "Why do people climb the peaks and look at the horizon line? It gives them a sense of identity - here I am. This is my emotional and thought context. I belong here." Václav Cílek

So why build an observation tower when I'm on a hill with a beautiful view of the region in all directions? I decided to integrate the observation tower into the reservoir object and make them one unit. Field furrow. Naturally, like roads, furrows are created in the field, it is a reaction to an obstacle.

An obstacle that must be bypassed along the trajectory of the curve. A ripple formed at the edge of the field. A wave that doesn't get in the way. She gently runs out into space to draw us into her world and reveal the landscape below us. This creates a new land formation, delimited by concrete walls and strewn with meadow grass.
