PLATES UNITE
The viewpoint offers a panoramic view of the stunning natural phenomenon of the white cliffs while seamlessly blending with the context of the site.
The concept behind the project is inspired by the tectonic movements of the earth's crust plates and how they collide; creating mountains and cliffs such as the white cliffs of Dover.
The design utilizes two continuous plates along the building, forming a circular route for pedestrians from the east and west sides of the site. The plates collide at both ends of the building, creating a form that is similar to two tectonic plates colliding.
