| Description |
|
Located
adjacent to the Bergisel ski-jump, the Tirol
Panorama building occupies a terrace that
overlooks Innsbruck. It is connected
to the nearby Kaiserjäger Museum by way of a
tunnel. An article by Marco Rinaldi on
the "aasarchitecture.com" website says that
the building, "... blends
respectfully in with its historical
counterparts. Simultaneously, a spacious
forecourt has been created between old
and new buildings with an uninterrupted
view across the Inn Valley. ... A
key element in the design for the
exterior appearance of the new building
housing the exhibition was therefore the
creation of a low-key, low-rise
structure in the park-like natural
setting on the access side of the
Bergisel, while at the same time
providing a strong sculptural impact to
the east, where it overlooks the bridges
of the adjacent main traffic routes on
the Inn Valley-Brenner axis.
..... the new restaurant with a
clear view out over the city sits
alongside a projecting canopy."   "From the entrance lobby with cashiers and museum shop, the open-plan, multi-storey access hall, a central hub, leads down into the mountain. ... The entrance floor, a flat stand-alone building, occupies the eastern slope that faces the Sill Gorge and it projects some way over it. The predominant part of the cylinder for the panoramic picture was sunk into a hollow facing the gorge – the new rotunda, a striking base for the building, reflects its content."   |
