BEEHIVE–AMPHITHEATER
Annotation
A riddle:
It has a tribune and a stage, but it isn’t a theater. It has a viewing platform, but it isn’t a lookout tower. It has a wind meter, but it isn’t a weather station. It has a cosy corner but it isn’t a forest cabin. It has students, teachers and desks, but it isn’t a school. What is it?
An apiary! This building contains 8 beehives and also performs functions of all the objects mentioned above. It creates space for education, pollination, meetings, rest or game at the same time. It is a pleasant contrast to the surrounding panel housing estate, a complement to the garden, and a lighthouse, which attracts attention with its unconventional form and purpose.
