Visitor center at the memorial in Lety near Písek

Architectural Solution of the Visitor Center
The wall, the main compositional element of the landscape solution, becomes part of the architecture of the visitor center. The structures attached to this wall are designed to feel lighter, allowing them to blend seamlessly with the forest. For this reason, a wooden construction and large-format glazing combined with a façade of mirror panels were chosen. The goal was to design a pavilion that would blend in with the surrounding greenery over time. It aims not to stand out but to serve.
The visitor center is operationally designed as a three-wing structure. The main wing, hall-shaped and 4.9m high, consists of connected spaces: the outdoor portico, the entrance hall with refreshments, exhibition space, and a multifunctional space for seminars. This utilitarian hall space allows for future variable arrangements of exhibitions and the educational mission of the center, independent of its construction. The central wing comprises a service corridor with storage spaces, to which all support rooms and amenities are connected – toilets, technical room, storage, employee facilities, and office. The building’s operation is designed to be used seasonally, ensuring that public toilets are always accessible during winter operations.
