The main goal of the project was to create a single place in harmony with the surroundings while reflecting the above four issues. In other words, the project aimed to avoid “exaggerated forms” and “showy interiors” which are usually found in other training centers, and create a place in which trainees can communicate with one another in a forest by encompassing the surrounding forest.
