(19) Exhibition space 'Ice climbing'

The 'wooden' structure embedded inside the 'ice blocks' presents the climbing equipment and is the basis for the mock-up of glaciers.

The whole exhibition is 'frozen' in a translucent, edge-lit, irregular structure referring to ice forms.

(19) Exhibition space 'Ice climbing'
Seats at the bottom and a hanging platform allow you to comfortably view the projections about glacial landscapes.

(19) Exhibition space 'Ice climbing'

Enormous, irregular, semitranslucent projection screen gives the impression of entering into a harsh, cold atmosphere.

(18) Exhibition space 'Speleology'

On the exposed rock cover, projections about the size and real conditions prevailing in various caves in the world are shown.

(18) Exhibition space 'Speleology'

On touch screens one can find some information on speleology and on cave-exploring techniques.

(18) Exhibition space 'Speleology'
The 'wooden' structure creates an atmosphere that refers to stalactites and stalagmites found in grottos. It also creates a distance between the visitors and the projection of the cave - giving the impression of depth.

(13) Exhibition space 'Gallery of the Conquerors'

The steel structure is a support system for thematic panels – great portraits of conquerors and interactive, translucent touch screens that provide information about a given figure. Portraits of mountaineers with similar experiences are connected by linear light paths activated by touch screens (the path leads the visitor to another portrait of the conqueror, who e.g. also reached the summit of Mt Everest in winter, just like the one from the previous portrait).

(13) Exhibition space 'Gallery of the Conquerors'

'The Forest' of protruding, illuminated elements, through which visitors go, reaching further information points - an interactive metaphor of acquiring mountain peaks. White glowing cubic forms as mini cinemas, in which screenings of famous mountain conquerors are presented.

(1) View from the lower terrace (level -2) to the elevation of the pavilion

The glass, emergency staircase is exposed by an openwork structure of the building façade. It is slightly extended in front of the building's body and becomes an important architectural element.

(6) External entrance zone of the pavilion

The steel structure from the internal space of the cafe penetrates outside - sculpting the space and turning into usable structures - mesh seats, bicycle racks and ski equipment stands. It also defines the outer part of the café and gives the possibility of installing windproof panels that would protect the café, depending on the season and weather.
