The object can be whatever– a shelter, a place for meditation, a church. Only man himself will bring the meaning, the function to it. A high stone wall towers over the Braunwald, emphasizing the silhouette of Orstock. The wall is made of local stone, which is then filled with concrete (to make a sharer shape as in contrast with the nature) and it’s created by local people, to sort of putting people together to create something that can become significant for Braunwald. The building marks the landscape – from outside and inside as well. When you enter the space, you can feel the difference between mankind and nature, a perfect smooth circle hovering above the steeply sloping rough rocky ground, a roof to hide under and the edge of the wall cutting through the air (as the edge of Ortstock) and dividing it into 2 halves that can be viewed through 2 small gaps.
Branwald. Place hidden on a mountin terrace. And if you don’t know that it does exist, you can easily stand under the cliff and don’t know that above you is a whole new world spreading.
The place is quiet, hardly reachable. However I know about somenting up there, something that triggers me, something hidden in the mountins that makes me want to go up there.
A smooth crystal emerging from the rock. Two walls connecting at one point like a fore of a boat are cutting the landscape. In the contrast with rought nature I find myself in the middle of perfect conic space hidden behind them. The edge of the circle is floating abbove stones, at one point it touches them, in the opposite side lifts high enough, so I can (altought bent) come under the roof. There are two significant openings among the other windows which are placed right in the edge. Through one slit I’m looking at Braunwald through the other one I’m looking into the valley.
I unpacked hammocke, hung it in between two columns and went to sleep.
