Bee Park – “Trail of Senses”

Prastio, Limassol, 2018

The design concept of the proposal is not one of a conventional building envelope hosting the programme, but rather one of a multi-layered and highly flexible, interactive Terrain, generating a variety of experiences that the visitor can interact and engage, always reanimating its programmatic qualities. A hybrid “trail of sense” allowing “a walk” throughout the historic and traditional methodologies of herbs, vegetation, preparation, traditional food, culture and overall experiences engaging in all senses.

The Bee Museum is the main core of the overall concept where this “Trail of Senses” begins and radiated its path towards a broader “ecological system” of traditional, cultural experiences regarding the authentic Cypriot historic lifestyle. By adopting this tectonic methodology, the proposal allows the user to activate a highly flexible system of programs that vary in duration fast/ fixed/ temporary and in content, allowing the overall operation of the design proposal to be more economical, viable and flexible.
