Looking at back the first project I noticed this exemplar used on the last board. The idea of it being eye-catching is what I intend to do with my design on Parliament House. Also how it is jutting out - it draws people to it.


Troll Wall Restaurant and Service - Reiulf Ramstad

• idea of creating an eye-catching restaurant and visitor center became ideal for attracting anyone driving by.
• aesthetic of the building mirrors its mountainous surroundings. The sleek, tall, angular edges are covered in reflective glass. With just the right amount of sunlight at the correct angle, the entire building can appear to blend right in with the mountain range.
• The simplicity and cleanliness of the design is best described by the Reiulf Ramstad Architects motto: “Whatever is iconic must be perfect, whatever is perfect must be lucid, whatever is lucid must be simple, and whatever is simple must be bold.”
