\n\u201dExpanding Natural Borders\u201d belongs to that group of entries which placed their ideas in a wider context of the man-made, nature-reclaimed hybrid landscape of Jimbolia\u2019s quarry lakes. Declaring the entire lake area as zone of their interventions, the project \u2013 almost alone among all competitors \u2013 paid attention also to the margins of the site, dealing with connectivity to the surrounding urban context.<\/p>\n

Relatively small-scale interventions of open and covered pavilions were placed with great care along the border zone of the lakes following the curved topography of the ponds. Since the form language of built structures derives basically from the landscape, the pavilions gained object-like, almost land-art qualities, which is a sensitive response to the complexity of the site and the questions raised by the competition brief. At the same time too much construction on the site is probably not wanted because of threatening the lakes\u2019 existing values, so the extent of built structures shown in the project might be debated. The site\u2019s rich historical context is reflected only by using brick as building material.<\/p>\n

Simple functions hidden in pavilions related to fishing, nature observation, relaxation, etc. provide a chance to bring life into the area and to successfully serve the local community, whilst larger scale functions like restaurants or exhibition spaces are rather questionable. A project operating with small scale functions of public benefit can also put the city\/municipality in the position of being owner\/investor of the project, avoiding extensive involvement of private investors with its possible negative effects.<\/p>\n

The entry\u2019s strategy of placing and developing the pavilions offers a gradual building process and projects a responsive participation design method that would be very reasonable from local community\u2019s point of view; unfortunately this important issue was not thematized in the entry\u2019s description. Generally the attached text was not deeply elaborated, but difficulties of understanding were counterpointed with one of the most beautiful presentations of drawings and images among all entries.
