Atelier Ari has unveiled "Le Voyeur," an innovative pavilion in a newly designed park at the historic site of Europe's largest coal mining factory in Drocourt, France. This pavilion is a reflective space where families and individuals can appreciate the transformed post-industrial landscape. Designed as an inverted watchtower, visitors lie on a trampoline within the pavilion to view their surroundings from unique angles. A large, oval aluminium mirror strategically placed at the top allows an overhead view of artificial lakes and former slag heaps, presenting the landscape in an entirely new light.
By mirroring the interior and its occupants high above ground, the pavilion connects past and present, integrating the historic architecture of the mining area with a modern twist. The structure itself, made from plywood and featuring arched corners, hints at the architectural heritage of the demolished mining buildings. "Le Voyeur" is a part of the 'Odyssée des Cabanes' competition, aimed at promoting the natural spaces of the Chaîne des Parcs in Northern France.
Atelier Ari 設計的「Le Voyeur」亭位於法國多克羅特，一個全新設計的公園中，這裡曾是歐洲最大的煤礦廠址。這個創新的亭子為家庭和個人提供了一個反思變革後工業景觀的空間。設計為倒置的守望塔，參觀者可以在亭內的蹦床上躺著，從獨特的角度觀看周圍環境。一個大型的橢圓形鋁製鏡子巧妙地置頂，允許從高處俯瞰人造湖和以前的礦渣堆，以全新的視角呈現景觀。
透過在地面高處反射內部及其參觀者的畫面，該亭子連接了過去與現在，將礦區歷史上的建築風格與現代元素相結合。亭子本身由膠合板製成，具有拱形角落，暗示了被拆除礦山建築的建築遺產。 「窺視者」是「Odyssée des Cabanes」競賽的一部分，旨在推廣法國北部Chaîne des Parcs。
