QXA GREAT FEN VISITOR CENTRE UK

The Great Fen Future Vision as the living landscape of open water, lakes, ponds, reed bed, fen and marsh dictated the form of our proposal for the Visitor Centre not vice versa. It is our response to this unique location and its heritage providing freedom of exploration, learning and preservation of the fenland. The conceptual reasoning behind this design can be compared to various insect forms such as water striders and caterpillars. The engineering bears resemblance to the Meccano construction set and finally the inflatable skin to Her Majesty’s umbrella?
Therefore a mobile inflatable air structure emerged as the best solution.
