The Veyversbürg Park in the province of Friesland was mainly formed in the 19th century, at the same time a villa was built there (1844), but this estate, which opened to the public in 1892, appeared already in the 18th century, and some parts of the park are even older. Nowadays, its area has been increased from 15 to 20 hectares and the artistic component has been strengthened (Pete Audolf, among others, was involved in the new territory).
In the historical part, it was necessary to build a pavilion for lectures and exhibitions, but the architects were not supposed to disturb the existing landscape and the network of paths. Three lines became decisive for the plan of the building: the bank of the pond, the edge of the parterre in front of the villa and the edge, which ran here in the 17th century; the result was a figure resembling a triangle in Lobachevsky's geometry.
The pavilion with load-bearing facades made of laminated glass dissolves into the surroundings, so visitors may well notice it only when they are very close. The same applies to interiors: even a lecture area with a floor level lowered by a meter is visually connected with the environment, in other parts the border between the environment and the interior is almost invisible (there are no additional supports and glass of increased transparency was used).
